The excellent JanglePopHub blog — a great source for new music in, well, that particular subgenre — refers to Dreamcoaster’s music as ‘jangle-gaze’. An excellent description, as the music by the husband and wife from Brighton is too jangly to be labeled as shoegaze and too dreamy for pure jangle pop. Maybe, the metaphor-desperate reviewer in me wonders, this is the compromise needed for a good marriage. Or maybe, the more realistic music lover in me thinks, it just sounds good. For it really does.
