Peel Dream Magazine, Dorio, Touch Girl Apple Blossom [inside]

Krautrock, shoegaze, electronica, baroque pop – since 2018, Peel Dream Magazine has existed as a vehicle for Joseph Stevens’ various songwriting excursions. Out Sept. 4 via Topshelf Records, fourth LP Rose Main Reading Room lands somewhere in between these past experiments, as whimsical woodlands (“Dawn”) and hazy, tall-grass jaunts (“Central Park West”) coexist with churning, Stereolab-esque indie (“Wish You Well”) and otherwise upbeat, skittering percussion (“Lie in the Gutter”). On Sunday, Stevens previews his work alongside vocalist Olivia Babuka Black and multi-instrumentalist Ian Gibbs. Dorio and Touch Girl Apple Blossom lend local support. – Carys Anderson
