Review: Polydream – Send Me To The Sun

I’m not sure why, but Madison, Wisconsin was not exactly where I expected Polydream to call home. Their Americana-tinged adult-oriented shoegaze pop just strikes me as being a bit out of place there. Polydream’s latest album Send Me To The Sun sounds (at times) a helluva lot like the Goo Goo Dolls (complete with the big layered super-slick over-production). Other times Polydream doles out more atmospheric major-key-shoegaze a la Coldplay. I’m actually surprised that major labels aren’t knocking down their door since this is the sort of stuff with a wide-ranging crossover appeal they seem to eat right up. Somewhere (however) Polydream sneaks in a little Americana charm onto Send Me To The Sun which makes for an interesting listen and an album I can’t write off as total crap even if it ain’t really sure which way it’s going.
