Peel Dream Magazine

Experimental avant indie-pop band Peel Dream Magazine is coming to Hamburg and Berlin in May 2025. After releasing their albums "Modern Meta Psychic" (2019), "Agitprop Alterna" (2020, both on Slumberland Records) and their 2022 works "Pad" with who they came to Europe for the first time, they just released "Rose Main Reading Room", their fourth full length, on Topshelf Records. It is a lush, inviting headphones record; the kind of album made to accompany city bus rides and rainy-day solo trips to accidental destinations. The band, whose name nods to the BBC Radio 1 legend John Peel — arbiter of all things underground, quality, and (it must be said) "cool" — has since its inception been a genre-hopping experiment, jumping from motorik krautrock to shoegaze and space age pop, and their newest work is a perfect starting point for the uninitiated, beckoning toward a newfound romance and nostalgia with their catchiest collection of songs to date.
