Reverb drenched, full of melodic hooks, lush guitars, and sweet whispered vocals, “With Every Breath You Die” is the stunning first full-length release from indie band, Day & Dream. Run by husband-wife team, Peter Frizzante and Abby Amaya, the album represents a collection of songs developed over the span of their relationship, starting from their initial encounter in New York City and eventual move to Asheville, North Carolina. Peter, the morning person, and Abby, the night owl -- their band name is a nod to their opposite sleep schedules. The pair is often writing music or lyrics at home in between work and daily chores, finding inspiration in personal relationships, nature, and risk-taking. Abby explains, “Our music is a compromise, very similar to a marriage.” Now in their 30s, the band tackles the frustrations that come with getting older and pursuing art in a world oversaturated with content. The album showcases a mix of both energetic fuzz and soft surreal listlessness. As the first instrumental track, “And So It Begins” starts, listeners are left to ponder if they are about to go to sleep, trying to wake, or float in a weird in-between dreamworld. “We’re Gonna Need Some More Coffee” references one of the couple’s most beloved shows, Twin Peaks, while “Chrysalis” alludes to the beauty and fresh feeling of playing music again. “Zero Sum Game” explores the notion of treating life as a high-stakes game, and “Starry Night” longs for being reunited with lost loved ones. Day & Dream recorded the full length with highly sought engineer, Damon Moon, at Standard Electric Studios in Atlanta, GA. Moon, who has worked with other indie bands, Lunar Vacation, Twin Studies, and Dinnertime, has a keen ear for capturing something classic and honest. The album was mastered by Greg Hendler at GMH Audio in Atlanta. www.dayanddreamband.com
