Gap Dream‘s Gabe Fulvimar spent the last three years exploring his strange existence while living in Burger Records’ Fullerton-based vinyl warehouse. Surrounded by records and dust, he pondered getting old (he’s 35 now), while sampling Super Nintendo sounds into his laptop and, engulfed in the subtle crisis of child-adulthood, wrote his third album, “This Is Gap Dream.” Playing all the instruments, Fulvimar’s latest features 12 songs that straddle genres as diverse as 1950s rock ’n’ roll, G-funk, deathrock, psych, bubblegum, synth and electro, puts all the ingredients in a giant bowl, stirs it up and lights it on fire. The side-effects vary from chill to paranoid. First single “College Music” is catchy and easy-going while containing his concerns about “soft machines.” Fulvimar describes the song as an “aural ‘I’m With Stupid’ T-shirt.” Burger Records unleashes the album unto the world July 22.
