"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'
"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
"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
“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
“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
“Together they create airy and at the same energetic shoegaze.” ~ Labandzi Spiew
"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
"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
"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
"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
"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
“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
