A heady and psychedelic track from Portland, Oregon-based artist Harpool, “Dream” ponders upon the “surrealness of life” with an engrossing aesthetic pull. Quaint acoustical flickers and textured guitars lead initially, rising gradually into a more rock-forward sound as the three-minute mark approaches. The track journeys from psych-folk beginnings into an entrancing psych-rocking second half, all with a cohesive allure. “Dream” emphasizes strong songwriting and excellently diverse production from Harpool.
