A blissfully melodic jangle-pop and post-punk synergy shows on “Beige Dream,” a gem of a track from Films on Song, a band based in Charlottesville, VA. Described as “about that feeling of dissonance and toppling of the forces of evil,” the track navigates with enjoyable momentum — quickly expanding from chirpy guitar jangles into a post-punk bass pulse.
The guitars flourish further as the moody vocals emerge, swelling into the fantastic “popular boys meet the popular girls” hook. Thunderous distortion and intensified bass invigorate past the two-minute turn, arriving into another sharply executed hook, which shows shades of The Go-Betweens and The Stone Roses. “Beige Dream” is a replay-inducing success.
