Written over a summer of endless bleary-eyed bouts of insomnia, the songs on Menace Beach’s debut EP capture the zero attention span and spontaneous, weird-out nature of a mind totally zoned-in to a fuzz pedal and a cassette recorder in the dead of night. Dream Out was recorded proper in another PM-AM session, this time with Leeds svengali Matt Johnson at his Suburban Home studio (Hookworms, Eagulls, Spectrals) and no little help from a bunch of friends (Matt You Animals and Nestor Sky Larkin). The resulting record is a kaleidoscopic vision of fuzzed out, dischordant pop akin to Built To Spill, Pixies, Dinosaur Jr, The Dandy Warhols and Sebadoh.
