MP3: Dreamboy - What have I done
I've been meaning to post something from Dreamboy for awhile and I figure that today's a good a day as any, especially since it coincides with the publication of Simon's full album review. Taken as a whole, I don't have much to add to his critique beyond pointing out that Niccokick frontman Andreas Söderlund co-produced half the album, so any comparisons between the two bands are unsurprising. Otherwise, he's right-on, so with that in mind, let's check out a song. "What have I done" is emphatic indierock that reminds me of "Pinkerton"-era Weezer, an album that was a very important part of my freshman year in college. I can't hear stuff like this without thinking back to that year in the dorms. I was already more jaded than most at that point, but with my mid-20s still far ahead of me, I had yet to experience the sort of depressed self-reflection expressed in this song. I know it's ridiculous in retrospect, but I definitely went through a long slump of not knowing what to do with myself as I contemplated my legacy. Ridiculous, right? Thank god age adds perspective.
