Rated: ***

Dreamcatcher (Recurring Dream Edition) is a re-written, expanded, re-recorded version of Cinderheart’s debut release back from 2017. Then recorded as a duo, a four-piece of course makes everything sound completely different. Perhaps in part thanks to the pandemic, Cinderheart found the time to not only re-record that album, but also their sophomore record Goodnight, Juggernaut as Goodnight, Juggernaut (Sleepless Night Edition). O’ and on top of all that, they also released another ten-track album called I Want to Feel Okay, which in turn is a collection of songs released as singles and EP’s before. But once again, re-written and re-recorded. But we’re here to spread the good news and also some bandcamp codes for the one that was released back in May. Dreamcatcher (Recurring Dream Edition) is a highly proggy, kind of psychedelic, a bit of garage, all together and all over the place kind of album. Cause there are also influences from jazz, blues, noir, metal and classical music. There are two covers, evergreen Hit the Road Jack known from Percy Mayfield or perhaps more in the Ray Charles version. And weirder choice, Parlor Mob’s Practice in Patience. Simply because I’m not that aware of other bands covering Parlor Mob stuff. Both tracks are done beautifully, Hit The Road Jack stays close to the original, even though it does sound kind of crowded. The same can be said about the Parlor Mob song; but this time it not only sounds much more crowded, it also seems to opt for a manic and hysterical touch. The album starts of extremely in media res, that you almost assume they are missing a few seconds of Sunlight/Moonlight before the album bangs off. Highly progressive and metallic third track Your Light might be the most alluring one on the album; cause once again the sexiness soon turns to frenzy and hysteria. So, it might be found more in final track Wreck, a quiet, guitar driven song that shows off the wonderful voice of vocalist Chelsea Robins. In all, Dreamcatcher is jampacked ride and Cinderheart manages to produce a lot of weird little surprises that showcase their ability to give all this crowded weirdness an air of uniformity.
