CANYONS Keep Your Dreams
VIDEO
Canyons' long-awaited debut album, Keep Your Dreams , unfolds like a feverish series of frantic chords, loose synth lines and macerated drum machines ('The Bridge'), sun-bleached sitars, hypnotic hooks and sandblasted saxophones ('And We Dance'), and increasingly blurry blends of what's live and programmed, a balance that was first struck on last year's single 'My Rescue' alongside POND frontman Nick Albrook. He wasn't the only guest, either; Tame Impala frontman Kevin Parker floats through the psych-pop ether of 'Tonight,' rounding out a guest list that includes members of Nite Jewel (Ramona Gonzalez), the Embassy (Fredrik Liston) and the classic British rock band Sniff 'n' the Tears (Paul Roberts).Keep Your Dreams is Canyons' directorial debut, from the broad, abstract brush strokes of 'Circadia' to the deftly-layered beat-less passages of 'Land In Between.' Like 'Tonight' and the locked glitter ball grooves of 'When I See You Again,' it goes against the dance-centric grain of the group's first releases (2008's The Lovemore EP, a DFA-endorsed 12-inch called Fire Eyes ), although there are certainly some floor-fillers on here as well (the laser-cut house loops of 'See Blind Through,' the peak-hour breaks of 'Blue Snakes'). 'It's all coming from the same place as our previous records,' explains Ryan, 'But everything's done with the listener in mind this time. Some of it sounds like how we originally imagined it, and some of it doesn't. What's nice is that we can still listen to it as a whole, and aren't sick of it after living with everything 24/7 for the past two years.'XLR8R Magazine, and from tastemaker radio stations KCRW, KEXP, WMBR, KCMP, and KVRX, Canyons are clearly one to watch in 2012.
