Brooklyn trio Mr. Dream 's new EP Fatherland drops February 24th, but for those who just can't wait, here's the title track. The EP is about an amusement park for fathers. Judging from the off-kelter, grinding nature of the title track, the rides at fatherland are probably not all too safe. I'm thinking it's more like a traveling carnival that's only around until the trash cans are full of vomit or somebody loses an arm on the Tilt-A-Whirl. Since being a father isn't all ice cream and world's-best-dad coffee mugs, that works out pretty well. Check [...]

With less than three weeks to go until the release of the Fatherland EP, Mr. Dream have let loose yet another track from their theme-parkfor-fathers-inspired EP. This time around, the Brooklyn trio have offered up the title track from the seven-track effort, which you can listen to and download below. As well, if you've yet to hear "What A Mess" and "The Room," which the band released last month, head here to give them a listen. Fatherland is out on February 28th via God Mode.

Late last month, Brooklyn sludge rockers Mr. Dream previewed their upcoming seven-track EP, Fatherland , with two thrash-tastic cuts, "What a Mess" and "The Room" . Now, as Stereogum points out, the group have have unveiled that effort's title track. Akin to its predecessors, this latest cut is a harsh blast of screechy guitars and cutting bass that swells and swells, growing angrier and more intricate with each passing note. Stream it below.

Last month, we posted "What A Mess" and "The Room," two tracks from the scraping, discordant Brooklyn rock trio Mr. Dream . Both of those songs come from Fatherland , their forthcoming EP, and now we've also got the EP's title track. It's a harsh, off-kilter track, and it's impossible to focus on anything else when it's playing. Nick Sylvester, the band's drummer and my friend, produced the track, as well as the rest of the EP. To his credit, he did not murder me when I told him that this song vaguely reminded me of [...]
Mr. Dream "Fatherland" Mr. Dream's second release is a slight curve ball, retaining the elemental appeal of their debut Trash Hit , while pushing the band beyond its early 90s reference points. "Fatherland," the title track of the EP, is the most impressive in this respect, with its hefty bass lines giving structural support to guitar and percussion parts that shift, swing and pivot in often unexpected ways. It's incredibly physical and dynamic music, and that feeling is amped up by Nick Sylvester's production, which splits the difference between a dry, [...]

On February 28th, Brooklyn's sludge rockers Mr. Dream will follow up last year's debut LP, Trash Hit , with a new seven-track EP, Fatherland . While we're still a few weeks away, the band has issued two cuts off the EP with "What a Mess" and "The Room" (via Stereogum ). Both sport thudding percussion, ominous riffage, and dusty production, essentially recalling the late '80s/early '902s vibes their debut echoed. Take a listen to both tracks below, and check out the band's forthcoming itinerary alongside fellow garage [...]
Last year, the Brooklyn scrape-rock trio Mr. Dream released Trash Hit , their ferocious debut album. In February, they'll follow it up with an equally asskicking new EP called Fatherland , which "is about an amusement park for fathers," according to an email from drummer Nick Sylvester. And in March, they'll tour the Western half of the U.S., opening for Cloud Nothings and finishing things off with a stint at SXSW. Below, we've got two of the EP's seven tracks up for download: The angular, seesawing "What A Mess" and the expansively pounding closer "The Room." [...]
