Independent music from the West Coast of Scotland has always had a kinship with psychedelic pop music from the West Coast of America. Orange Juice loved The Byrds, Teenage Fanclub wanted to be in Buffalo Springfield, The Pastels adored The Electric Prunes.

And so it is with Dream Boys – a modern-day trans-Atlantic love affair realized. Consisting of three Americans and one Scotsman, the group filters the spirit of Postcard Records through the rural haze of the Paisley Underground; pure pop with nods to New Zealand’s Flying Nun Records and Australia’s The Church. They will release their self-titled debut long player through Art Fag in September.

Download the brittle, swirling guitars of lead single Born Yesterday, and rejoice that this particular circle remains unbroken.
