A genuine screamo dream with post rock grandeur: Eyes bundle up Dream #3 a reminder of why, a decade ago, they catapulted themselves to the scene spearhead almost from a standing start.
Since their first and so far only studio album Before It All Burns From 2017 it has become relatively quiet regarding the high-flyers from Milan, but Dream #3 Written between 2016 and 2022, now bundles a kind of review of the time that has passed since then, as the band themselves put it on record: “It is a fragmented collection of hopes, daydreams and past mistakes. We wrote and recorded these songs in the midst of line-up changes, a pandemic, and some unforgettable experiences.“
Sounds fragmentary Dream #3 In the end, however, not at all, but round and complete; following a homogeneous arc of suspense and, alongside the raw emotionality of the vocals, placing a really wonderful instrumental, melodically engaging beauty that dynamically picks up and uses the famous production (clean and clear, energetic and impulsive, gripping) to stage truly first-class songwriting that always outweighs the skramz factor with a graceful post-rock attitude.
So urgently what is essentially desperately attacking The Time I Wasted So no matter how raging, the warmth of the sound with its rugged edges and poetic emotional worlds is strikingly reminiscent of early music even before it opens up into the epic panorama The Disputewhat for the following West (with vocal assistance from Long live Belgrades Cándido Gálvez) in the slightly too dense fairway of King Park even more so: Eyes throttle the tempo and roar over the gently pounding melancholy of longingly sparkling guitars, the music flows almost ethereally, the rhythm section has a springy tension a la Litebut at the latest the middle part adapts a similar charisma as Somewhere at the Bottom of the River Between Vega and Altair at that time before the band entered the for Dream #3 generally typical spirit of optimism vibrates, leaves the crowbar in place for a long time and yet develops a carefully mangling pull.
Icon chants rumbling to the uplifting, soft, crisp desire of the melodic string communication, which transports the cultivated restlessness in calming patience, meanwhile heath shows a relatively straight directness over the dramatic abyss, without really going the straightest path: the material seems to be made of one piece, actually opens up its agenda with immediate momentum, but still leaves a lot of room for depth.
The Lives of Others has something so calm, until the song might be reduced to a fast, swaying sing-along hit – if the Italians wouldn’t rather recite in a stirring manner and stand on their hind legs, the finale may ponder as forgivingly as it oscillates. And how himself When The Dream Comes True majestically spitting, propellingly stretching to the horizon, hymnically and harmoniously growing higher and higher with a triumphantly redeeming climax – this is simply great genre cinema. Amidst all the latest Screamo highlights from ao Ostraca, dark hill, Jeromes Dream etc. anyway, Øjne manages to make a pretty fantastic comeback.
