Dreaming of Roads

Description

Formed in Southend in the late 90’s, Beatglider’s tale is a familiar one taking in early
acclaim only for momentum and promise to be dashed by major label statis and
indifference.
After the release of the debut long-player, ‘40 Days Of Summer’, in 1999 the band
signed to Sony subsidiary Lakota and decamped to LA to record its follow-up,
‘Dreaming Of Roads’, an album that was never to see the light of day.
And now, over 20 years later, ‘Dreaming Of Roads’ eventually gets a deserved
release on 28th February via the Arlen label. A beautiful 11-track understated delight
which musically falls somewhere between the likes of Elliott Smith, Grandaddy, Yo La
Tengo and Sparklehorse, the album has not only stood the test of time, but arguably
sounds as fresh as ever in 2026.
