My Daydream Songs Do Not Make Sense

The Madness of Daydreams Is Truly Mine

Exposing the fake glow of social media and the emptiness behind constant performance. A punk slap to the digital age.

'Nothing'

and i'll be perfect now on yeah,
and all of these problems everyone has them,
maybe you're confused,
can't decide if it's too late,
can't hide it,
can't keep me straight,

pour your darling over me,

i'm so shy I think i'm losing the way I feel gets so overwhelming,
can't you stop your timings,
it's not real in disbelief,
and I could pretend that I don't feel like this,
I'm betting my feelings for understanding,

pour your darling over me,

Nothing

Los Angeles' Smokescreens are a group of friends who bonded through a love for New Zealand's Flying Nun label, as well as shared inspirations such as The Velvet Underground, The Go-Betweens, The Television Personalities and of course indie pop of all flavors. Their self-titled debut was released to wide acclaim in 2017, and was quickly followed-up with the excellent "Used To Yesterday" in 2018.

Since then they've toured a bit, written a bunch and made some great friends along the way. One new friend and fan is David Kilgour from legendary New Zealand band The Clean, who came to LA to produce Smokescreens' new record "A Strange Dream." Recorded with trusted engineer Kyle Mullarky, this terrific album exhibits a band at the very height of their powers, combining their collective talents into a potent set of songs that's been superbly captured by the team of Kilgour and Mullarky.

From the jaunty pop of opener "Fork In The Road" to the rocking "Streets of Despair" and the dreamy "On and On" this is a record that clearly shows a band that knows it's way around a timeless guitar riff and aching pop melody. Gorgeous ballads like "Nighttime Skies" and "I Love Only You" add a new depth to Smokescreens' sound, and the cover of Scrotum Poles' DIY classic "Pick The Cats Eyes Out" is perfect, and perfectly fun. Add in an evocative cover painting from Mr. Kilgour and you have a record looks as good as it sounds, and will prove to be compulsive listening for any savvy pop fan.

LYRICS

Pastel shades in the early heat of May
But all I see is grey
Monochrome scenes feels like it’s all through a screen
But who am I to say what’s real

Is something wrong with me?
Rings like a silent scream 
My sadness is compiling
It’s summer and I don’t feel like smiling

The long days shouldn’t feel this bleak
But it feels like I’m on a losing streak
The smell of suncream and salty air
I feel nothing and I don’t care

Is something wrong with me?
Rings like a silent scream
My sadness is compiling 
It’s summer and I don’t feel like smiling

Air con and blackout blinds
I never mean to be unkind 
Air con and blackout blinds
I never mean to be unkind 
Air con and blackout blinds
I never mean to be unkind 

The long days shouldn’t feel this bleak
But it feels like I’m on a losing streak
