Peel Dream Magazine have unveiled two more tracks from their upcoming record, ‘Dawn’ and ‘Central Park West’. Out September 4 via Topshelf, Rose Main Reading Room has already been previewed by ‘Lie in the Gutter’ and ‘Wish You Well’, both of which made our Best New Songs segment. Listen to the new songs below.
Joe Stevens had this to say about the tracks:
“Central Park West” is a first-person account of me wandering through Manhattan on a solo jaunt. A lot of the song references the Museum of Natural History, which has always fascinated me with its weird dioramas and quiet low lighting. I also walk through Central Park, the Upper West Side, and the Rose Main Reading Room at the New York Public Library on 42nd Street (which the album is named after). The song evokes a kind of woodland sound palette with flutes, banjo, and acoustic guitar, and it feels like a fun juxtaposition with the cosmopolitan stuff. “Central Park West” is backed with another song from the new album, “Dawn”, which is kind of Phillip-Glass-inspired and builds in a really pretty way. “Dawn” is this really simple tune about the beginning of a day and all of the opportunity it brings.
