"Combining 80s synths and cosmic effects, Day & Dream's new track sounds like a place that no one can access, an illusion, a surreal reverie." ~ HighClouds'
"Day and Dream offer the enveloping heat haze of Forest Fire, sultry guitars dipping in and out behind Abby Amaya's enveloping vocals, it's shoegaze with a 60s girl group undertow." ~ Sunday Records
"This tempting cosmic easy-listening is like a silk scarf fluttering on a retro Cadillac DeVille mirror in the evening lights. Day & Dream immerses us in entrancing pictures created by simple and easy touches. The synergy of the emerald synths and Abby Amaya’s marvelous seiyuu timbre make the sound blissfully melt in happy ears." ~ Grotesqualizer
"Hidden Cinema is haunting and shimmering at the same time. And as it drives home with Abby’s vocals, the fog of haze rise and diminish in part and whole." ~ Comeherefloyd
"Instrumentally, A Study In The Pixels Of Your Face is very cleverly constructed with layer upon intricate layer joining seamlessly to create a unique, groovy, ethereal sound. When the song kicks in, there’s a subtle background haze which gives a nostalgic tone from the off." ~ Independent Music News
"Beginning with dreamy guitar arpeggios, the track hugs the line between jazzy indie rock and 70s-inspired dream pop. The breathy female vocals are reminiscent of Lush or Mazzy Star but the guitars sound more like modern dream pop bands like Real Estate." ~ Adam Morgan, StGA
"Cabin Fever is a smooth dreampop piece which verges on jazzy trip hop, and in part it finds Day & Dream presenting their slicker side, until it challenges itself by erupting to something wilder but entirely consistent." ~Destroy//Exist
“Miss Shoegaze Music Of The '90s? Day & Dream Could Be Your Favorite New Local Band” ~ Matt Peiken, BRPR
“Brand new LP from Day & Dream certainly impresses… Your ears will certainly perk up when you hear her voice, layered on top of a compelling guitar churn." ~ DKFM
"Reminiscent of My Bloody Valentine, Day & Dream covers topics that aren’t warm, cuddly, or beautiful, but wrapped in angelic vocals. With a 70’s, deep reverb, chorus effect on the guitar, smooth bass groove, and a music video wrapped in a red hue, “Paralysis by Analysis” speaks volumes beautifully." ~ High Street Disco
“The Asheville dream-pop/shoegaze band crafts a sound that suggests the influence of (or at least like-mindedness with) artists as diverse as The Cure, Shelleyan Orphan, Jesus & Mary Chain and Beach House. With Every Breath You Die is recommended to lovers of shimmering, gauzy pop.” ~ Bill Kopp, Mountain Xpress
"Glom style melodic jangle-gaze meets the hushed dream-pop tones of the L I P S aesthetic, is the beautiful modus operandi of this Asheville, NC, duo." ~ Jangle Pop Hub
"...with special attention given towards soft, gentle dynamics is Day & Dream’s single Rabbit Hole. Pretty melodies seem to melt off the creamy instrumental while the lyrics conjure up lovely, psychedelic images of Wonderland." ~ Alt77
“Together they create airy and at the same energetic shoegaze.” ~ Labandzi Spiew
"Chrysalis is the first single to be lifted form the forthcoming debut album With Every Breath You Die. It’s a pretty short song that mixes indiepop and dreampop but gives no clues on how the album may pan out. That said it has it’s own charms and I have had it on repeat for a while now finding the somewhat melancholic lyrics pretty absorbing." ~ Records I Like
"This song is legit amazing. I got chills down my spines while listening to this. Thanks for sending me this gem." ~ EDM Bot
“Their stuff is so pretty. This is shoegaze: it goes on and on, and the colors all fade into each other, and we’re dreaming.” ~ Holy Crap Records
"There’s a nice pace to these songs - almost frantic, but somehow, a sleepy wistfulness seeps through anyway. Day & Dream are somehow able to take the same old ingredients and still cook up a delectable treat that you can return to again and again to escape the rigors of daily life." ~ Houdini Mansions
"Hidden Cinema builds on their combining of indie-rock and dreamgaze, fusing reverb with layered, soft vocals, and electronic beats for a gentle, evocative meander." ~ Little Indie Blogs
"Day & Dream just released a gem of a LP, both clever and simple." ~Noise Artists
“The album shows some contemplative pieces, like “Forest Fire” and its twangy Twin Peaks vibes, though “Night Lights” stands out particularly as being a full-bodied representation of the group’s sound. A hypnotic percussive pulse accompanies textured guitars and dreamy vocals, certainly showing why Day & Dream have been compared to the likes of Stereolab, Warpaint, and The Sundays.” ~ Obscure Sound
"Day & Dream , A study in the pixels of your face . It's probably a coincidence, but the new super single from the American band perfectly tells about this period of isolation and of bent - but not broken - love from distance. ~Shoegaze Blog
"Dreamy angelic vocals float over the top of guitars laced with enough reverb to make early 90’s shoegaze jealous." ~ Indie Midlands
"Excellent dreampop. Don’t stop." ~ The Zine
"Above all, it is these melodic electric guitar riffs that caught us right from the first listen. Discreetly distorted and provided with a nice chorus effect, they play dreamy harmonies and bring out a lot of nostalgia in a special way ... like playing an indie record from the early 90s" ~ Berlin On Air
"Rabbit Hole, belongs to the upbeat part of dreampop. It's playful and excitable" ~ Darkenin Heart
"When ‘Night lights’ starts with a Cure-like bassline, the band display what will be listened to in the album: intricate musical layers bordering on the lo-fi, Abby’s beautiful high-pitched voice, slight dissonance that avoid an ‘easy-listening’ song, feet-taping melodies. And from there you visit various music landscape, all superbly painted. Needless to say I love this album." ~ Noise Artists
"It is always great when, out of the blue, you discover a new favourite band, namely Day & Dream. We started with their new single A Study In The Pixels Of Your Face and were so impressed that we went straight to their back catalogue to discover more. So much treasure was there waiting for us, it almost made this self-isolation a gift to allow us to listen to even more." ~ Beatbox Saboteurs
"The dream-pop tune embraces you like a hug, allowing Cocteau Twins-esque vocals to inspire and influence you to make a move—or at the very least, to help you feel ok in your paralysis." ~ Left Bank Magazine
"Asheville dreampop band, Day & Dream, return with new material, this time presenting an upbeat turn, giving their dreamlike, soft sound a bit of a more rosy tone, and their jangle pop properties full-scale." ~ destroy//exist
"Lush guitars, soothing synths, a snazzy drum pattern and those oh so angelic vocals. All mesh together to create a beautiful relaxing soundscape" ~ Indie Midlands
“Finally, we have the sweet and subdued anthem of introversion that is Day & Dream’s “Paralysis by Analysis”. Accompanied by video of an elegant trapeze performance under red light, the song drifts gently, drenched in reverb, as vocalist Abby Amaya softly sings as a recluse, stricken with an inability to act or interact as she over-analyzes every situation, preferring to be alone in her “echo chamber”. The tones on this one are as pretty as you’ll hear, but the direct relatability is what’s particularly striking.” ~ Counterzine
"A Study In The Pixels Of Your Face is one of the band's most accomplished pieces to date." ~ destroy//exist
