The debut EP from L.A.’s Mean Dream is a throwback to the early days of post-punk and shoegaze, a lo-fi but nonetheless intoxicating slab of misshapen guitars and vocal lassitude. The self-titled affair is the work of L.A. natives Bela Messex and Ellie Gordon, who began their collaboration as an electro-pop duo before deciding to explore noisier, dreamier environs. The EP comes out today on cassette via Summer Bummer Records (Washing Machines, Criminal Hygiene).
