Dulls preview new Moon Violet EP with “New Dream” single

Local shoegaze outfit Dulls spent a weekend in the studio with Stargazer Lilies’ John Ceparano last fall with the goal of recording a sophomore EP. Now that post-production is wrapping up and a release date is set for the end of the month, the sludgy-but-sparkling quartet has shared a new track from Moon Violet called “New Dream.”

The song opens gently, spacey guitar chords ringing out underneath Erica Carter’s spot-on 90s dream pop vocals. Don’t get too comfortable in the downtempo airiness though. Dulls let out their louder side fairly quickly, hitting the distortion pedals and shifting from atmospheric floating to crunchy disorientation at the drop of a hat.
