What is Dreamgaze, Psych and Peyote jams by Wreaths

Wreath psych from Asbury Park
MUSIC REVIEW: Dreamgaze or psychgaze by any other name is a long jam and the WREATHS own it. Led by maestro’s Shaun Towey and Ralph Nicatro who are old bros from back in the day before there was a back in the day from Hoboken and New Brunswick, NJ. They have been making this type of noise under different names; even using Chicago as a front-office (yes the whole town) these Wreaths are the one’s that’s been sticking over the past couple years. If you’ve wanted to have a lo-fi trip without the help of a lot of booze or blow listening to this music might just do the trick in kick starting the bends. We won’t promise it will keep you safe from the corner drug dealer though. You are on your own there.

Last year they had a couple releases that captured their sound on a self titled and self released CD (currently sold out) and also a exclusive 10″ that was put out by Little Dickman Records (not that you currently will see anything on their site about it we’ll keep wreathsgate out of this review). One thing we like about the guys is you can always tell it’s their flyer and with that slight element of danger. So the band branding is consistent in many ways and reflects their thing as this wall of controlled chaos. You might not be able to hum a tune right way but you will feel it like a hangover the next time. They have tunes called “Coke Straw” not that they use one. They use hundies and tunes like “goin’ back to haiti” which hits the 13 minute mark that are there to support your peyote dreams. This band of five merry-men carry this thing wherever there is a PA like giants in the land of midgets wondering about the leaves on the leaves on the ground. So enjoy this while they take a break from playing the NJ area. In the meantime they will be working on more material for some point in the future. If you need a taste though for sure checkout their brother band Seaside Caves.
