Having dreams can sustain you - give you something to believe in - but the weight of expectation, the burden of reality can also mean that such dreams can become oppressive; they can just as easily shatter you. Denmark's MØL explore the dichotomy of such dreams on their latest album, Dreamcrush, via Nuclear Blast. Informed by a series of disparate life events, the eleven tracks that make up the album are a tapestry of emotions, stitched together with threads of experiences that criss-cross over time and place. MØL offer the opportunity to worship at whatever psychic temple resonates the most. Drawing influence from the likes of My Bloody Valentine, Cocteau Twins and The Smashing Pumpkins, MØL pull a gossamer veil over their sharpest, most jagged edges whilst channeling big alt-rock hooks. Steeping even their most aggressive moment in melody creates an emotional dynamic that is the post-rock foundation for their most explosive sonic expressions to date. In amongst clouds of unfathomable loss and grief, Dreamcrush offers rays of almost unbearable hope - the option to keep on dreaming despite ourselves
