NYC's Peel Dream Magazine dazzled listeners with their
recent release "Agitprop Alterna," a smart album that
draws from a wide set of post-punk, shoegaze and
indiepop influences but still has an assured, unique
sound. Now they're following up with "Moral Panics," 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.
