Pressing Specifications
Who Is Weird Dreams?
Weird Dreams is the recording project of Doran Edwards, a multi-instrumentalist who assembled the band around a clear ideology blending bright Brian Wilson-style pop with darker, David Lynch-inflected undertones. Prior to Choreography, the East London based act built anticipation through a series of well received split 7 inch singles and EPs, establishing a sound rooted equally in classic surf pop and something stranger lurking beneath the surface. Edwards would later relocate to Paris, releasing a follow-up album, Luxury Alone, that marked a shift toward more introspective, synth-focused territory.
About Choreography
Structured as a clear album of two distinct sides, Choreography opens with a run of heady surf-pop delights, including the guitar-hook driven Vague Hotel and Holding Nails, before working through juxtaposed XTC-inspired riffs on Faceless. Reviewers consistently noted the record's tension between its bright, doo-wop harmonised surface and its lyrically downbeat, occasionally perverse undertones, with the closing title track passing through the witching hour into dawn as it winds the album down. Despite wearing its influences openly, from Beach Boys harmonies to Meat Puppets and The Smiths-adjacent moods, the record was widely praised for its cohesive style and genuine songcraft, marking a confident and fully realised debut.
