Beatglider – Dreaming of Roads

Description

Formed in Southend in the late 90s, Beatgliders tale is a familiar one taking in early acclaim only formomentum and promise to be dashed by major label statis and indifference.
After the release of the debut long-player, 40 Days Of Summer, in 1999 the band signed to Sonysubsidiary Lakota and decamped to LA to record its follow-up, Dreaming Of Roads, an album that wasnever to see the light of day.
And now, over 20 years later, Dreaming Of Roads eventually gets a deserved release on 28 th February viathe Arlen label. A beautiful 11-track understated delight which musically falls somewhere between the likes ofElliott Smith, Grandaddy, Yo La Tengo and Sparklehorse, the album has not only stood the test of time, butarguably sounds as fresh as ever in 2026.
