There are still plenty of electrifying moments-from Craig Keeney’s signature guitar solos to Damian Coleman’s fiercely melodic bass lines-but the true power is grounded in the band’s ability to cope with life’s wreckage. Though Drawing Dead prides itself on its ability to take a header into the perils of middle adulthood, The Sarandons are doubling down on their herculean stamp of defiant optimism. Dream Machine - the lead single - is a jeering fit of reverie that taunts with its cheerfully sung refrain, “Don’t dream at all.” This ‘why - bother’ provocation isn’t meant to be divisive, but just the opposite: an impetus for a healthier means to an end.
