Surprise! Merry Christmas etc.
We've been planning a Christmas single for months now, but thought it would just be a single track. Inspired by a conversation we had with Thom from The Understudies about their Christmas Covers Party at the Waiting Room in London on December 17th (tickets here: ) in aid of Cancer Research UK, we decided that, as we were unable to play the show, we'd put together a brand new EP and sell it to benefit the same cause.
The EP was written and recorded quickly over the last four weeks, all the songs have snow in the title and they're all absolutely drenched in seasonal melancholia. Try slapping them on between 'Wonderful Christmas Time' and 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' and see where the party goes...
The EP features our first ever live performance, a role-switching tune in which Jon covered lyrics and vocals and I was foolishly entrusted to take care of the music, and a fair number of sleigh bells.

Peel Dream Magazine is the musical vehicle for NYC's Joe Stevens, who launched the band in 2018 with the critically acclaimed album "Modern Meta Physic." With it Stevens created a mysterious, liminal tribute to the hazy end of ‘90s dream-pop – a masterful mix of first-class songwriting precision and train-window sonic impressionism that duly found its place on numerous "Best of 2018" lists.

After 18 months of writing and live shows with a shifting cast of band members, Peel Dream are back with "Agitprop Alterna," an album that pushes the group's dreamy, motorik-heavy sound to a deeply melodic and beautifully discordant place. The album pays homage to a strain of mod-ish U.K. pop that spans early My Bloody Valentine and Talulah Gosh, up through early Stereolab, Belle & Sebastian, and even Broadcast. It's also indebted to stateside pop bands that were cut from a similar cloth -- Rocketship, Lilys, Yo La Tengo, and even "Nevermind"-era Nirvana.

Where the creation of "Modern Meta Physic" was a solitary pursuit, "Agitprop Alterna" found Stevens channeling the collaborative spirit of the band's ever-rotating live incarnation in the studio. The album is ultimately defined by the tension of difference: between itself and its predecessor; intertwined male-female vocals; the music's languid dreaminess and concrete sonic immediacy.

Deeply rooted in the Brechtian ideas of art as a tool to spur action, "Agitprop Alterna" deepens the connection between the existential and the interpretive first explored on "Modern Meta Physic," giving the listener space to find their own meaning in shimmering guitars, fuzzed-out synths, and buzzing organ drones. It is a rejection of manipulation in all its forms and a buzzsaw against complacency – soft-focus pop whose clear-cut message is that you get to decide the message. It's a rare trick to agitate without being obvious: perhaps that makes "Agitprop Alterna" the most Peel Dream Magazine-like statement yet.
