Seapony – Dreaming

Contributed by Christopher Gedos

Seattle’s Experience Music Project unveiled its Nirvana exhibit last weekend, but Seapony proves that Seattle hasn’t lost it’s rock relevance here in the year 2011. Dreaming, the 7″ of which was released by Double Denim records, has been rippling throughout the superhighway as of late. Intelligent rock from the city with the most PhDs per capita in the United States. These black and red flannel patterns don’t run! Seapony is rock regionalism at its finest. Dreaming infuses all the saccharine elements of dream-surf while discarding all the insincere ones. Color me excited for their show at The Echo on May 31st. And don’t you worry Brooklynites — they play Glasslands on June 15th.
