With his third album as Peel Dream Magazine, Joseph Stevens beckons you toward a fabulist, zig-zag world entirely of his own design. On 'Pad' he eschews the fuzzy glories of his indie pop past - vibraphone trembles while chamber strings take center stage. Then the curtains lift to reveal banjo, chimes, Farfisa... 'Pad' is recommended if you like 'Smile'-era Beach Boys, Stereolab, High LLamas, Broadcast, or The Lilys. The LP-edition comes on YELLOW VINYL.
