Pink Noise is the project of people from Skinny Alley and some other people. Their music is a mix of jazz, funk and alternative – yup like a lot of new bands that you’ve been reading about of late.
‘Dream Dream’ is a live recording. The lo-fi goodness of the quality makes this song a special listen. Makes you feel like you’re in a smoky bar drinking cheap beer by yourself and watching an ignored band go cautiously wild with their music. The song is angular, starting at one place, changing tempos along the way with a whole bunch of Amyt Datta (guitar) magic. It’s spacious, as if thrown together on a whim.
If they do record this song in a studio, they shouldn’t.
Listen to ‘Dream Dream’.

I stumbled across this review and website just now and I have to say this is one of the best reviews I’ve read of my band! The reviewer’s got the whole scene spot on – it was a smoky bar, the beer was cheap and plentiful, the band kind of does its thing and the crowd does its own thing.
A confession – we are planning to record this one in a studio soonish….sorry!
Not hard to imagine given the song.
I’m a sucker for lo-fi recordings with decent sound.
