Blind Man’s Colour: Season Dreaming

Kanine

Channeling Spiritualized and influenced by Animal Collective above anything else, this Florida-based duo brings a sonic blend of fuzz, wobbled analog and offbeat construction to a boil. Season Dreaming isn’t all texture, but the spacey layers that pile up are mostly just that, making for a rather hazy landscape filled out nicely with bright but lo-fi indie rock. “Heavy Cloud Hustle“”is where Blind Man’s Colour excels the most, cascading with vintage-sounding pop one second and bubbling up with looped-out electronica the next. But amidst all of the wild experimentation going on here, some things could be left out—preferably the noise storms of “Shells” and “The Planets Explode.“”Think back to the time when the dentist gave you painkillers and you took too many. This could be the soundtrack.
