Philadelphia art-rockers Pine Barons announce their new Fishmans cover album I LOVE FISH by sharing the music video for cover track "ナイトクルージング (Night Cruising)". Fishmans is known for their unique psychedelic sound with rocksteady basslines and the distinctive vocals of the late lead singer Shinji Sato.

Lead vocalist Keith Abrams says "ナイトクルージング (Night Cruising) was one of the first songs that came together for this record early on in the process, and was one of the easier songs to translate into English. It was a popular song for Fishmans when it first came out, and I wanted to stay true to its dreaminess and to have it build upon itself and crescendo into a blissful end.”

"For this video, we tried to embody the brightness and liveliness that was our discovery of Fishmans. Looking back on their music has truly helped us look forward. It sparked a flame and revitalized a forgotten feeling we’ve all had in ourselves - a yearning curiosity and genuine awe. It rekindled our love and appreciation for music, creatively and objectively." says Alex Beebe, keyboardist and director of the music video. 

As fans of Fishmans, Pine Barons took great care to replicate and honor the intricate details that went into the original record, in addition to adding their own meticulous spin. For example, on legendary 30 minute romp "Long Season," the band ran through a field of snow geese with 3 different samplers for a transition. The band paints a picture of recording that track, describing: "we built custom wind chimes out of glockenspiel tone bars, bells, forks and knives which were all hanging from the rim of a bike tire which hung from the ceiling. Two mics coming out the ears of a mannequin head which was placed beneath the spinning wind chimes were used to record it for a binaural effect."

Peel Dream Magazine is the nom de plume of New York City-based musician Joe Stevens. A nod to BBC Radio 1 legend John Peel, arbiter of all things underground, Peel Dream Magazine is highly evocative of a certain strain of independent music. Stevens harkens back to the early 1990s, when The Velvet Underground resurged as an inspiration to a new set of bands wielding synthesizers, off-set guitars, and a political bent. The Peel Dream experience is defined by a gentle, fuzzy psychedelia —it’s a hypnotic bit of mod-ish lo-fi pop, recalling the best of early Stereolab, Lilys, and other shaggy haired kids with vintage fuzz pedals, slim trousers, and good record collections.

Written and recorded over a four-week period in the fall of 2017, Peel Dream Magazine’s debut album "Modern Meta Physic" fixates on the New Age universe of the Catskills region of New York. Stevens deals in esoteric bohemian fare — Far East philosophy, Native American tradition, mid-century modern cool — as he appraises the world according to privileged urban expats who increasingly call the upstate paradise home.

Leading off the album, "Qi Velocity" is a metronomic take on French pop that yields to a lush chorus reminiscent of Belle and Sebastian. “Deetjen's," named after the much-loved bed & breakfast in Big Sur, would fit snugly on Unrest's best Teen Beat material. "Due to Advances in Modern Tourism" displays a soft take on Neu!, while the organ that enters could be a sly wink to Steve Reich's "Four Organs.”

There is an economy to these tracks — everything is distilled down to it’s essential elements, no gestures are wasted, no superfluous ornamentation taking up space. While Stevens is more than happy to show his influences on his sleeve — mind you, they're great influences — it's clear Peel Dream Magazine isn't just a “sound." The guy can write songs. Where he goes next is anybody's guess.

[Verse 1]
I’m seeming to be lit, alive
I’m happy again, calmer, calm in time
Suppose the daughter of yourself will
Be the same, but you’re a match

[Chorus]
You're the match of cherry coal
That will burn this whole madhouse down
You’ll not throw open like the worn-out safe
More like a love that's a bottle of exquisite stuff, best

[Verse 2]
You yourself and your father
Don’t know so, but in your own ways
You're really both bonesetters
Thank you for mending me babies

[Chorus]
You're the match of cherry coal
That will burn this whole madhouse down
You’ll not throw open like the worn-out safe
You would seem more like being from that same bottle
Of exquisite stuff is
You are the match of cherry coal that will burn
This whole madhouse down on the floor
Open like the worn-out safe

[Verse 2]
You yourself and your father
Don’t know so, but in your own ways
You’re really both bonesetters
Thank you for mending me, babies
