Into The Trees are a British alternative dream pop band, formed in Brighton in 2010. The three piece line-up are Grace Hutchinson (vocalist), Tom Bush (lead guitars) and Oli Turner-Lees (bass guitar & percussion). Their sounds explores the collision of constructed soundscapes with an underlying narrative line which has been described as a “shoegazey, ambient yet lofi sound” and frequently featured highly in the local alternative charts. The band’s members fuse an impressive spectrum of experience and influence. Grace, a singer songwriter inspired by Tori Amos, Stevie Nicks & The Cure. Tom, a classical guitarist inspired by The Smashing Pumpkins, Jimi Hendrix & Pink Floyd, and Oli, a musical production engineer and bassist, inspired by Cocteau Twins, Husker Du & Slowdive.

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.

Early Morning Abstract

Dream Colour

The third single from Ancient Channels, ‘Pangs’, is a heavy and immersive contribution to the dream pop landscape with pummeling drums, ethereal synths, stark reverberated guitars and dreamy delay- ridden vocals.

‘Pangs’ is a meditation on the ephemeral nature of time and the human feelings that are borne of uncertainty: confronting the unwavering and the unpredictable one discovers when looking within. In direct conflict with the plodding, lesser tempo of the song that serves as a crucial reminder that we are more than the sum of our thoughts.
