The Dream Syndicate | The Days Of Wine And Roses | (Ruby) 1982

"The Days Of Wine And Roses" by The Dream Syndicate, released in 1982, showcases a distinctive sound reminiscent of Lou Reed and The Velvet Underground. The album explores deep emotional themes through powerful lyrics and harsh guitar arrangements, balancing inspiration and disturbance, ultimately revealing the complexities of love and life amidst darkness and beauty.

Nou, het geluid was zó slecht en hard dat ik voortijdig bij het concert van the Dream Syndicate ben weggegaan. Maar vandaag zit ik toch met hun eerste set in mijn hoofd én ik heb het liedje, waar ik vooraf tijdens het wachten aan begonnen was, afgeschreven. Dus ik klaag niet.

I stumbled on Pitchfork's review of Inside the #DreamSyndicate, Vol. I: Day of Niagara and decided to give it a listen.

I was very surprised a) to find how poppy and upbeat it sounded, and b) to find it had very clear vocals

It turns out that I had Tidal running in another tab and that it had turned on autoplay, so I had #BrianEno and #JohnCale's Empty Frame playing at the same time.

Highly recommended - sorry about the YT links but I didn't have a better way to share both:

The Dream Syndicate, The Dream Syndicate (Self-Titled), 1982 on Down There Records / Enigma

Another band associated with the Paisely Underground / Paisely Punk movement of the early 80s, Dream Syndicate were Steve Wynn, Kendra Smith, Dennis Duck, and Karl Precoda.

This was their debut EP on Wynn’s own Down There Records label before they signed to Slash in 1982.

My copy, via a private sale, is on red / green Down There labels with “marketed by Enigma” on the label.
