New York City’s Dead Heart Bloom are much sweeter sounding than what their name suggests. Their freshest release, “Strange Waves” channels British Invasion tenor, psychedelic auras, and folksy roots. “Someday Will Not Come Again “ opens the record with dreamy countermelodies that flow together and transition into the cheery guitar bends of “Sentimental Cure.” Twinkling piano lines undulate through the lullaby-like “Meet Me,” “Don’t Worry For Me,” and operatic “Fall.” Title track “Strange Waves” showcases wistful vocals and exotic horn flair, which is followed by the enchanting “Some Will Rise.” The serene acoustic guitar strums of “Another Mistake” relax listeners and flower alongside operatic vocals on “Fall” and delicate woodwinds on closer “Love Will Have It’s Day.” Dead Heart Bloom will be back in Williamsburg on September 17 at Spike Hill. – Meijin Bruttomesso
