Impressing last year with the lush and jangly gem “Dulcinea,” Miami-based project Bed Scene succeeds here with the track “American Dream.” Fluid guitars give way to a suave bass bump and vocal lead, with playful synths pulsing in the bridge to the delightful title-referencing chorus, where guitars, synths, and rhythms converge with hooky appeal. A bridge at the two-minute mark also engages as the vocals fade, with guitars and synths dizzying amidst a catching bass line, before the vocals re-emerge to close. Project head Nick Aponte shows excellent production work with the ascension from more understated verses to the chorus, consuming throughout.
