I've listened to these five songs on repeat for about an hour now and I still don't really have any (of the right) words. It's not that FEVER DREAM delivered the best recording of 2012, but damn it sure sticks with me. I think back to other bands of the era, and I can easily see FEVER DREAM alongside WHITE LUNG, DASHER and/or OBSERVERS, but the grit is undeniable and leans more on the side of New York's adaptations of the Region Rock that dominated the previous decade. They are (were) truly a sum of their parts, and it's a shame these songs are all that they left...but there's also something special about really being able to spend time with a really good batch of songs, so I'm going to appreciate what I have.
