Dreams Divide

Album: Puppet Love (2011)

Artist: Dreams Divide

dreamsdivide1

The fantastic 'Dreams Divide' debut album 'Puppet Love', that explains what the synth pop/ industrial duo Dreams Divide are all about. Described as 'Depeche Mode' meeting 'The Dresden Dolls'. REVIEW: "Gem Davison and David Crout began working on what would eventually evolve into Dreams Divide in early 2009. After receiving some positive appraisals from industry insiders and music lovers, the duo buckled down and began work on their debut full length album, Puppet Love. The result is a very well crafted and listenable synthpop album they released back on May 2, 2011." (Coma Music Magazine)

REVIEW: "A synth-pop sound comparable to Ashbury Heights, Code-64, and more recent Covenant, but with a slightly edgier sound and feel. Gems’ vocals help to reinforce the synth-pop sound, and the right mix against Davids rawer sound. ...The album is well produced, with slick sound, and shows promise that they can go far." (Rock Regeneration)

Written By Dreams Divide. Additional programming by Alex McDougall. Mixed By Alex McDougall. Mastered by Alex McDougall and Adam Goodlet.

Puppet Love

REVIEW: Blending elements of synthpop, industrial and goth, UK act Dreams Divide (David Crout: vocals/synths/programming, Gem Davison: vocals/synths,Richard Wright: live synth) come together .... It's a familiar list of artists that give them inspiration, but a taste also for the rockier side of things gets reflected in some stylistic touches that sees Puppet Love span genre boxes rather than neatly slot into one of them. Opener John really makes me think of Geoff (Tenek/The Nine) Pinckney’s style of composition with its large, swish synth pads strings and a firm pop song sensibility. Desire sounds like a Ministry of Sound remixed Edge of Dawn, whilst others up the trance backing – which is definitely no bad thing in my book - and could translate well live. “Complex” could almost have been on the last Devo album, and to me represents a space where Dreams Divide stand out the most. Its memorably jaunty chorus is a gloriously manipulative melody up there with the best electronic pop.... (DSO Audio)
