The newest track from Blonde Bones, “Bad Dream” shows a catching rock sound with shades of The Walkmen. Jangly guitar chirps and suave vocals build into the reassuring “you woke up in a bad dream, but it’s over now,” sequence.
The panting guitar presence and dynamic vocal shift, from suave to escalated, makes for a compelling sound, particularly in the “all my friends are telling me,” bridge. “Bad Dream” is a stellar, addictive rocker from this rising act, culminating in an ardent distortion-heavy conclusion that invigorates.
Blonde Bones describe the track as “about a tweaked out David Koresh inspired character driving through the desert.”
