Indie-rock phenoms DREAMERS released their highly anticipated album on April 26th. Launch Fly Land is the perfect follow-up to the band’s first full length, This Album Does Not Exist. DREAMERS absolutely lives up to their name in that listening to this new record truly makes you feel like you’re dreaming. The whole album wraps you up, transcends this life and places you in some other dimension, from the very beginning to the end.
DREAMERS had originally released “Die Happy” and “Insomniac” as singles, teasing the album, and received such an incredibly positive reaction from fans. This album feels so larger-than-life when you listen to it, almost as if it’s growing into you. They’ve brought a dream-like landscape into existence with these songs, and it has created a whole different universe while you listen. Nick Wold has this ethereal sound to his voice that sets this band so far apart from any other. Launch Fly Land already has this kind of out-of-this-world feel to it, but paired with Wold’s vocals, it is transformed into this masterpiece of an album that has resulted in exponentially growing their fanbase and their rank in my own personal favorites list.
Launch Fly Land starts with “Die Happy,” a song full of attitude and fun that just makes you want to dance. Throughout the album, we see so much variety, yet it is still so wonderfully cohesive. The 10-track album ends with “Take Me Home,” a song that I fell in love with before I even heard the lyrics. “Take Me Home” is the song that makes you want to lay on the grass and just stare at the sky. It's full of power and emotion and is my personal favorite.
DREAMERS has yet again exceeded their fans’ expectations with their new release Launch Fly Land. They’ve got the perfect mixture of alternative/indie-rock in their sound to reach such a wide audience. They’re full of creativity and talent, and they are definitely on the track to becoming something big.
