More Info:
Rose Main Reading Room, the fourth full length by Peel Dream Magazine, is a lush, inviting headphones record; the kind of album made to accompany city bus rides and rainy-day solo trips to accidental destinations. The band, whose name nods to the BBC Radio 1 legend John Peel - arbiter of all things underground, quality, and (it must be said) "cool" - has since it's inception been a genre-hopping experiment, jumping from motorik krautrock to shoegaze and space age pop, and their newest work is a perfect starting point for the uninitiated, beckoning toward a newfound romance and nostalgia with their catchiest collection of songs to date. Across it's fifteen songs, Rose Main Reading Room ultimately proposes a world of marvels and compelling complexity: "Oblast" cheekily prods at mutually assured destruction; "Ocean Life" explores the infiniteness within ourselves; while "R.I.P. (Running in Place)" unpacks an all too familiar stagnation. It's all part of, and crucial to, Rose Main Reading Room's transportive power, ever reaching for the wonder and magic of the world we live in.
