Here comes a new indie dreampop outfit from California, Riversid to be exact. The word "dreampop" may bring to mind acts like Twin Sister and Memoryhouse. Some tracks (my faves) of this "The Good Things" EP have a more ethereal emotive quality, the others have more of an upbeat malt-shop sound to them. Hm, seem to notice a recurring theme of 'Twins' but in the newcomers' defense, the core of the band are actually sisters albeit not twins. Who should be more inspired to write 'dreampop' anyway? Brooklynn residents Twin Sister probably pine to have the waves crashing on them and to 'feel it all around'. But Riversiders, Summer Twins are so close yet so far from a real beach. I can see no clear advantage in terms of inspiration.
