Shine by Tean Dream
With soft lo-fi-inspired vocals, woodsy upright piano, Rhodes and Mellotron textures, Tean Dream creates a ‘70s-inspired bedroom-pop aesthetic that serves as a friendly host for lyrical themes of freedom, nostalgia, and finding self.
Sonically, the EP is a blend of classic and modern. Listeners will enjoy the soft warmth of breezy indie-inflected vocals, and quirky, atmospheric production choices that mix pleasantly with a ‘70s pop-rock song foundation. The music has moments of intimacy with naked piano/vocals and jazz-inspired chording, while a tight and tasteful percussion section creates a dependable and light groove. The sound is a sepia-toned forest in a burgeoning spring-time— it’s familiar but unknown, melancholy but uplifting. It sounds of growth and time irrelevant.
The songs were recorded and completed throughout the 2024 calendar year.
