ALBUM REVIEW: JEFF the Brotherhood - Wasted on the Dream
The fraternal duo Jake and Jamin Orrall are back with their newest album, Wasted on the Dream. While their sound and style has changed over the course of their previous LPs, they've come back with their original grungy, psychedelic rock sound, which complements a few of their Weezer-esque tracks.
The album starts off with "Voyage into Dreams," which I could compare to "Shredder" from their earlier LP We Are the Champions. If a solid drum beat and dark meandering solos get you psyched, then "Voyage into Dreams" is the perfect song for you. Another track that goes back to their roots, and my personal favorite, is "Melting Place." While originally featured on Garage Swim, a 2013 alternative rock compilation, this version is enhanced and the deep bass sound is even more earth-shattering than before. While these tracks channel JEFF's inner Black Sabbath, there are plenty of tracks that show a lighter side to garage rock. I can already imagine "Karaoke, TN" being an awesome song to hear live and sing along with Jake, as the lyrics are contagiously addicting.
I was psyched to hear that Bethany Cosentino, of Best Coast, would be making a cameo on "In My Dreams," where she sounds like a young Courtney Love. Another guest appearance comes on "Black Cherry Pie" with Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull on the flute. The best part of this album is how well JEFF the Brotherhood relates to their audience, especially with lyrics and their all-encompassing psychedelic sound. This album is sure to please hardcore JEFF the Brotherhood fans, as well as welcome new fans with their increasing variety and breadth in their album collection.
