About
Bad//Dreems continue to map out Australia’s foreboding future on their fifth studio album. Driven by guitarist/songwriter Alex Cameron and singer Ben Marwe, the Adelaide band populates <i>Ultra Dundee</i> with tales of rising temperature, drought-stricken farmer, deserted outback mining town, and all-night drives in an inland sea. “Night Shooting” mentions Gallipoli and TAB [Australian betting organisations] alike, while “January 26”—inspired by the failed Indigenous Voice to Parliament referendum—is a melancholy ballad that wrings a lot of feeling out of Marwe’s ragged vocal. Bad//Dreems also expand their musical palette, adding synth and drum machines to the droll slow-burn of the Adelaide-set opener, “Slaughterhouse ’85,” before lodging themselves within a long tradition of Australian rabble rouser, with the title track recalling Nick Cave in carnival barker mode and other tracks playing like an updated version of Midnight Oil. .
