From jump Holy Wire’s “Dream” feels like a journey back to a time when one would hear C86 bands alongside the likes of New Order, Felt and The Smiths on college radio. And be struck by how that music could employ both intimate acoustic rhythm guitar with synth and spare electric guitar melodies to create an evocative backdrop to stories of heartbreak, crisis and times of existential introspection. But for this song Holy Wire doesn’t bother with the words, it lets the melancholic and nostalgic tenor of the song transport the listener to a time in life when horizons seemed in the distance and a broken heart could be soothed with the power of music seemingly written as the soundtrack to getting over a breakup.
