TRACK REVIEW: Suddenly We Stopped Dreaming – Because of You EP

Suddenly We Stopped Dreaming’s latest release is characterised by collaboration and resolution, the tracks are defined by variation. The voice and lyrics of Orion Lake defines the first and last tracks, Because Of You and Sea Of Blue, as dreamy and wistful odes to lovers that seem native to a coming of age drama. The alluring, shoegaze melodies weave in and out of emotive beats that sees the EP come full circle by completion.

Someday sees Max Shephed enter on vocals, striking a different note of clean, affecting, indie rock reminiscent of Car Seat Headrest, whilst Silent Movie 2 is a reworking of a previous single with Juniper. This version establishes a more active and passionate tone, with more guitars, oomph and feeling.
