Backseat Dreamer EP available at Earshot


Backseat Dreamer “love not found” mcd – stick036cd – $5.99 The events of dreams are often impossible, or unlikely to occur, in physical reality: they are also outside the control of the dreamer. The exception to this is known as lucid dreaming, in which dreamers realize that they are dreaming, and are sometimes capable of changing their dream environment and controlling various aspects of the dream. The dream environment is often much more realistic in a lucid dream, and the senses heightened. Sean Neuse is Backseat Dreamer. Sean started to seriously focus on writing and recording for this project around winter of 2006, after a couple years of drumming for dirty electro group Culture Prophet. Being in that band inspired Sean to do something dancy and electronic, but at the same time Sean has set out to do something completely different being inspired by My Bloody Valentine, The Jesus and Mary Chain’s “Pyscho Candy”, early 4ad material, early factory material ,Slow Dive, Joy Division / New Order, Tom Tom Club, Depeche Mode, Brian Eno, Berlin, Bowie, Suicide and on and on and on. It’s hard for Sean to say what his influences are, he likes a lot of old school funk, soul, R & B, disco, rap, jazz, avant gard experimental stuff, old country, folk, post punk, 70's punk. Glam, new wave, no wave, dream pop, shoegaze, dance, electronic...oh and Iggy Pop too. Sean is inspired by all kinds of old and new shit constantly. “Love not found” is the debut ep by Backseat Dreamer. It’s a quick listen, less than twenty minutes, but it’s a grand start for new listeners. The debut full length will be unleashed in Spring 2009.
