Lost in the Dream continues down the Slave Ambient route of bridging polar-opposite strains of 1980s rock namely, the tremulous haze of late-era Spacemen 3 and the sort of flyover-state Americana anthems used to sell pick-up trucks. But even in the album's opening seconds, the new album asserts itself as a more urgent affair overtop the blurry, break-of-dawn guitar ripples of Under the Pressure, a stuttering drum machine sounds off like an alarm clock coaxing you out of bed and prodding you out the door. And if the steady-pulsed melody that emerges initially positions Under the Pressure as the most placid song about anxiety ever, by the third chorus run at which point it's amassed a swirl of dueling guitar solos, starburst synths, and brown-note saxophone swells you feel the full weight of this nine-minute track bearing down on your chest.

Flying Nun only debits your account for a pre-order when it has actually landed in our store. We believe this is fair because supply can often be unreliable - availability and release dates frequently change without notice.
