Songwriter Patrick Thomas’ wounds of love don’t appear to be healing quickly – at least, not judging from his band Duniven’s new EP “These Dreams.” The follow-up to last year’s lovelorn full-length “I Need to Try for Her” finds the Duniven still treading water in organ- and harmonica-drenched Americana, with the frontman’s pained vocals channeling Dylan and myriad classic rockers that followed. Like the album, the EP is a hit-and-miss proposition but certainly doesn’t lack for musicianship; among its many contributors are keyboardist Jason Borger (who plays with Jonathan Wilson and many others), Harley Prechtel-Cortez and Ryan Kirkpatrick from Just an Animal, Eastern Conference Champions’ Joshua Ostrander (who produced) and vocalist Aimee Lay. the EP is currently available for free download at Bandcamp.
