When we last heard from young L.A. quartet Dreamers Dose, they had just ditched their old band name and begun working with producer Alain Johannes (Arctic Monkeys, Queens of the Stone Age, Jimmy Eat World, Them Crooked Vultures and more). File under wise and wiser. Oh, and they were just getting a handle on their sound, a bristling neo-psychedelia that’s a little bit Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and a little bit ’90s alt-rock. The fruits of their labor – the debut album “At Least We’re Happy” – is out this week, and it makes the fresh-faced foursome of singer Andrew Stogel, guitarist Jesse Perlman, bassist Levi Dylan and drummer Josh Conway (formerly Blowing Up the Moon) sound like grizzled veterans. It’s hard to sound world-weary if you’re not old enough yet to have a legal drink, but Stogel does on their new single “Pray for Me, Fragile.”
