Deep Dream * by Daddy Issues.

Rating:

Performer Notes: One could reasonably argue that Jenna Moynihan is a musician who lives in the wrong place and time. Judging from Deep Dream, the first full-length album from Moynihan's group Daddy Issues, if she'd made this record in, say, 1993, she'd be fielding lucrative offers from major-label A&R people looking for the next Belly, Veruca Salt, or Breeders. With its catchy but minimalist tunes, grungy guitar figures, and simple but muscular backbeat, Deep Dream sounds like it could easily have been a product of the era when grunge put alternative rock on the charts and hooky tunes with noisy guitars were suddenly the coin of the realm. But Moynihan and her bandmates (Jenna Mitchell on bass and Emily Maxwell on drums) hardly seem motivated by '90s nostalgia. As a lyricist, Moynihan has a real knack for personal material that focuses on the spaces where relationships go south (and if she isn't as bold as Liz Phair was in her heyday, she had no qualms about calling things what they are). Though her guitar work sometimes betrays the fact she only started playing seriously in 2014, her tough, grainy tone gives the tunes a physicality that serves them well. Mitchell and Maxwell hadn't been playing much longer than Moynihan when the band started, which may explain why their approach is so straightforward on Deep Dream, but they know how to harmonize and they push the songs forward without a lot of fuss, balancing their grungy side with a punky clarity. And come to think of it, in 1993 some A&R guy would probably have tried to impose a more flashy second guitarist on this trio, which would have robbed them of a great deal of their lean but crunchy force, so perhaps it's just as well Daddy Issues exist in the 21st century. Deep Dream shows they're maturing nicely at their own pace, and their creative instincts are serving them well for such a young band. ~ Mark Deming

Professional Reviews: Paste (magazine) - "Full of self-interrogation at times bordering on self-dissection, and buoyed by a bold and revelatory honesty, DEEP DREAMS proves just how perfectly suited Daddy Issues' fusion of sludgy grunge and hazy pop is to communicating the sorrows and the glories of being a smart young woman."
