Easy Dreams Announce Debut Album, “Sunformer”

Los Angeles-based band Easy Dreams has just announced the upcoming release of their debut album, Sunformer, on May 12th, 2023, via their own label Yallbeat Records. The album is set to feature a blend of psych country, shoegaze rock, and pure ’60s pop, showcasing the band’s collective influences.

The album’s first track, “25 Moons,” has just been released, along with an official music video. The song was premiered by Buzzbands LA and is available to view below. The track will be released on all streaming services on Friday, for playlist shares.

The band formed when singer-songwriter Meredith Meyer and Brandon White met at a party in Brooklyn and bonded over their shared love of country music. Since then, they have evolved from a folk duo to a full-fledged rock band, culminating in the creation of their debut album.

They were introduced to producer Adam Lasus (Yo La Tengo, Helium, Army Navy) through a mutual friend. “When I met with Easy Dreams, I knew we could capture some magic together,” Lasus says. “The songs just kind of exploded and blossomed in a very natural way.”

Sunformer has been in the works for some time, but its release last year was delayed due to the passing of Meyer’s mother in 2022. Her influence on the band’s music is profound, and her death lent some urgency to the album’s release. In 2018, Meyer put her creative work on the back-burner to care for her mom. And to hear White tell it, that experience changed the duo’s approach to writing songs.

“It became much more of a ‘I gotta get this off my chest’ thing,” he says. “You know you’re going through this level of distress and other people are going through it. And if we can make somebody feel better through what we’ve been through, I’m going to do my best to do it.”

The album promises to explore themes of life and death, and the band hopes that their music can provide comfort to listeners who may be going through similar experiences. They are excited to bring their new songs to audiences and cannot wait for people to hear the album in full.

To celebrate the release of “25 Moons”, and ahead of Sunformer being available, Easy Dreams will be performing on March 29th, 2023, at The Three Clubs in Los Angeles. The show will also include performances by Strange Parade, Sam Slick and Brandon McCulloch. Tickets are available here.
