There are many bands out there that give off some serious John Hughes vibes, but no one has dazzled us quite like LA’s The Bad Dreamers. The project of Grammy-nominated songwriter, producer, and filmmaker David Schuler, The Bad Dreamers formed during a quest for music for his new short film, The Offer. Soon after, a new project was born inspired by 80’s greats such as Tears For Fears, Depeche Mode, Prince & more. Needless to say, we are here for this one!
Lead single “California Winter” from The Bad Dreamers’ debut LP, Songs About People Including Myself, out October 25, is a classic Tears For Fears-esque 80’s love anthem featuring a killer synthwave meets indie-pop vibe.
“California Winter is probably my favorite song on the album. I wrote it last December (2017). The song represents the feeling of losing something you may have never even had. It’s a strange time of year to be living in Los Angeles; the city assumes a strange kind of ‘calm’ and it’s the only time of year that I get the sense that anyone actually leaves,” Schuler shared with EARMILK.
