Listen to I Dreamt You In Technicolor
This first album from the New Orleans outfit People Museum brings plenty of pop prowess, but certainly not in the traditional sense as Caribbean ideas, funk moments and plenty of soulful nods are in attendance.
“Eye 2 Eye” starts the listen with a cosmic approach as horns enter the bright and energetic atmosphere where pop unfolds with playfulness, and “It Won’t Be Long” follows with a darker quality that’s club friendly and memorable.
Elsewhere, “Clockwatcher” moves with a mesmerizing beat as strategic brass is in attendance, while “Fly By” recruits vivid synth on the dreamy and ultra melodic standout tune.
Closer to the end, “Bible Belt” buzzes with strong vocals amid a glowing pop template, and “Close 2 You” exits the listen with an upbeat and tropical delivery of varied musicianship.
An impressive start for the duo of Claire Givens and Jeremy Phipps, there is certainly a lot of potential to be found with People Museum and it will be exciting to see what they do next.
