Surprise and it came out on Bandcamp Friday!
NYC’s Peel Dream Magazine dropped a new EP called Moral Panics.
It is the follow-up to this year’s LP Agitprop Alterna.
Nice to hear more dreamy shoegaze post-punk music from them!
About the EP:
Moral Panics which is a companion EP that features unreleased songs from the Agitprop Alterna sessions.
Far from being outtakes, these are all songs that stand strong on their own, and gathered together function as a useful corollary to the album.
The EP’s title comes from Stanley Cohen’s Folk Devils and Moral Panics, a pivotal study of the media treatment of the mod movement and the poltical, societal and cultural faultlines that the media panic embodied — it’s a reference that’s quite revealing about some of the ideas behind Peel Dream. Songs like “New Culture,” “Verfremdungseffekt” and “Life At The Movies” continue PDM’s investigations into those frought areas where art, culture and commerce meet, and the EP as a whole comprises a crucial piece of the Peel Dream discography.
