Though a genre might be hard to put a finger on with this trio, with every sweat-soaked performance, Dream Creeps have gained a reputation as a blistering and intense live act. Oozing math-tinged post-punk heaviness, managing to sound both angular and fluid, Dream Creeps make noisy art that emanates equal parts tension and release.
“Control Apologize Delete” is the latest release from Dream Creeps, and properly introduces the genre-blurring magic this band brings to contemporary rock. The staggering, complex yet inviting single is a chaotic trip through the intricacies of this band’s artistry. Dream Creeps employs a punchy, jagged structure to deliver their expressive individuality, and with every listen, a new layer of “Control Apologize Delete” becomes clear. Just as you are whisked away on the spikey guitar riffs, a vocal performance that lands somewhere between aggressively raw and melodically sugary sweeps in with a passionate gusto. Dream Creeps do nothing to hold you to reality; instead, they seem to encourage the listener to get lost in their approach, immersing those who choose to press play in a downpour of refreshing, off-kilter post-punk magic.
