This is a song where John Agnello took out some of the layered rhythm guitars to open the song up, and as a result it really jumps out of the speakers. He also ran the vocals through a Leslie which is a cool effect. Lyrically, it\u2019s about recognizing a relationship is ending and the unease that comes with the undeniable, inevitable feeling of collapse, and recognizing distortions in your thinking. \u00a0It careens between \u201cwanting to hide\u201d and \u201cI don\u2019t want to lie\u201d, reflecting the oscillating feelings involved in letting go. The title comes from the David Markson book of the same name, one of the best I\u2019ve read in the past few years.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Living out a\u00a0guitar freak\u2019s wildest fantasies and\u00a0featuring spellbinding mixing from\u00a0John Agnello\u00a0(Sonic Youth,\u00a0Alvvays,\u00a0Kurt Vile,\u00a0Cyndi Lauper) and mastering engineer\u00a0Greg Calbi\u00a0(David Bowie,\u00a0Lou Reed,\u00a0Television,\u00a0Blondie),\u00a0\u2018Dream or Don&#8217;t Dream\u2019\u00a0is a towering devotional to tone with blazing riffs, powerhouse drums, and swooning hooks emerging from an enveloping haze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since 2008, Kestrels has been the primary project of singer\/guitarist Chad Peck, who spends his time offstage as a high school English teacher. For this album, he is joined by livewire drummer Michael Catano, the driving force between Maritime math-rock bands North of America, The Plan, and The Holy Shroud, whose credits also include an early stint with Len. Peck\u2019s lulling vocals flash back to influences from My Bloody Valentine, Swervedriver, or Built to Spill, while Norma MacDonald\u2019s spectral harmonies conjure the sound of a Cocteau Twins\/Beach Boys fantasy jam.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Peck began writing\u00a0\u2018Dream or Don\u2019t Dream\u2019\u00a0while staying on the couch of his friend, Ash frontman Tim Wheeler. From here, the album\u2019s instrumental scaffolding was laid down throughout a series of studio sessions at Steve Albini\u2019s Electrical Audio in Chicago, Sonelab in Massachusetts, and Sonic Temple in Halifax. He connected with his guitar hero J Mascis after Kestrels played at a bike shop with Dinosaur Jr. The white-haired wizard of riffs recorded seven different takes for album standout Grey and Blue, leaving Peck in the surreal position of compiling a Mascis guitar solo.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The guitarist\u2019s bond with Agnello came even more naturally. These fellow gear heads ran wild, drenching Kestrels\u2019 recordings in phasers, flangers, spring reverb, and the pitch-shifting sounds of a Rainbow Machine. <em>It\u2019s A Secret<\/em> bounces between passages of yearning indie-rock and ambient drift, while <em>A Way Out<\/em> slips downstream from shoegaze into shredding Crazy Horse leads. <em>Everything Is New<\/em> tweaks an octave fuzz effect into disintegrating tones, before the afterburners are truly unleashed on the six-string pyrotechnics of <em>Feels Like The End<\/em>. While utilizing sonic experiments to push these songs into alien territory, one of Peck\u2019s ultimate goals for the album was to keep it sounding \u201chuman\u201d, \u201chonest\u201d or in Agnello\u2019s words, \u201cvibey.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cI heard some of Kestrels\u2019 influences early on, and they were bands that I really loved too,\u201d<\/em> says Agnello. <em>\u201cThe obvious one was Dinosaur Jr, who I\u2019ve been working with since 1993, so I tried to apply some of the mixing techniques I use on J\u2019s guitar sound. I use a lot of analog pedals and tape delays on all the instruments to give them more warmth and depth than you get with some plug-ins. The idea was to have the guitars jumping out of the speakers without being harsh.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018Dream or Don\u2019t Dream\u2019\u00a0traces a transition in Peck\u2019s life from a low period to one of excitement. Kestrels\u2019 previous 2016 self-titled album was by all means a success, earning critical acclaim from The Fader, Noisey, and BrooklynVegan, charting airplay from CBC Radio 3, KEXP, and the BBC, plus nominations for the ECMA and Music Nova Scotia rock album of the year. However, behind the scenes, Peck\u2019s longtime backing band dissolved, leading to a creative hiatus.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Focusing on the completion of his Masters degree while scoring podcasts inspired him to turn introspective. Returning to what he does best, Peck began writing lyrics about taking charge of his life, who he wants to be, and facing the reality of those choices and directions. For anyone paying close attention, he also slips in sly references to novelist David Markson, Virginia Woolf, and the time-traveling finale of Twin Peaks: The Return. Rendering this reflective song-suite with world-class collaborators, Kestrels have returned with a recharged conviction.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c<em>Making records is a fundamental part of my life, so I knew I was going to keep going,\u201d<\/em> Peck concludes. <em>\u201cI\u2019ve learned a lot about writing and recording so I was confident I could make something great. I sort of relished the challenge of being on my own in a lot of ways because I know how I want things to sound. It did make for some long nights in the studio, but felt like a good and important hurdle to cross. I\u2019m ready for the next one.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/CD6236CB-1110-498F-8DD8-BFA60B842A79.jpeg?resize=1024%2C1024\" alt=\"Kestrels \u2018Dream Or Don't Dream\u2019 cover artwork\" class=\"wp-image-34452\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/CD6236CB-1110-498F-8DD8-BFA60B842A79-scaled.jpeg?resize=1024%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/CD6236CB-1110-498F-8DD8-BFA60B842A79-scaled.jpeg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/CD6236CB-1110-498F-8DD8-BFA60B842A79-scaled.jpeg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/CD6236CB-1110-498F-8DD8-BFA60B842A79-scaled.jpeg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/CD6236CB-1110-498F-8DD8-BFA60B842A79-scaled.jpeg?resize=1536%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/CD6236CB-1110-498F-8DD8-BFA60B842A79-scaled.jpeg?resize=2048%2C2048&amp;ssl=1 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u2018Dream Or Don&#8217;t Dream\u2019 tracklist<\/strong><br>1.
