A sound drawing comparison to stadium acts like Arcade Fire, U2 and Springsteen laden with ominous gothic austerity, Indiana’s intensely real and perhaps most eccentric group,Dreamers of the Ghetto, will play New York December dates. Dreamers of the Ghetto released their debut albumEnemy/Lover in October on Temporary Residence Ltd. A mature and fully-formed album, Enemy/Lover is a romantic, driving, dramatic vision of the past as the future. Peep their live video of “Tether” for a taste of the action.
Next Live Dates:
12/07 – Brooklyn, NY – Shea Stadium
12/08 – New York City, NY – Mercury Lounge
“Enemy/Lover is not just indie rock-club big. It’s mainstage big. Listening to Enemy/Lover, it takes no stretch of the imagination to see the band’s long name inching its way toward the top of all sorts of bills in the months ahead.” - Pitchfork
“…all the more refreshing to hear a band like DotG put out an album that sounds so nakedly ambitious and unabashedly big. This is a band with enormous potential to please both conventional and fringe musical palates.” - KCRW, Playing on Prefix
“Enemy/Lover plays like a crash course in the last decade of crossover indie and the ’80s anthems that paved its way.” – The Onion AV
“…this band is destined to breakout” – I Guess I’m Floating
“Combining the sweet sounds of ’80s rock, especially that of soundtracks and scores, with hunks of uber romantic dream-rock, the end result is a little bit rock and roll and a little bit synth-y groove-fest.” – Consequence of Sound
“Debut Album From Dreamers of the Ghetto Soars Above The Rest” – CBS Radio’s Street Date
