{"product_id":"vivid-dreams-843563196502","title":"Vivid Dreams","description":"Recollection is a new band made up of an all-star cast of players who excel at making  aggressive music. On the band's debut EP, Vivid Dreams, Josh Hynes (RUDE AWAKENING,  HAMMER BROS), guitarist Joshua Long (SKINHEAD, CRIMINAL INSTINCT, RUDE AWAKENING,  HAMMER BROS), guitarist Austin Sparkman (HAYWIRE, BURIED DREAMS), bassist G (HAMMER  BROS, THE WORLD), and drummer Snooka (LIFE'S END) prove that they're also just as adept at  melody and emotion-and these six songs are certainly packed with both.  Recollection began after the passing of a close friend brought Hynes and Long back together.  The two found themselves reconnecting from opposite ends of the country, working on new  songs to help process their grief. The result is Vivid Dreams, six anthemic tracks that capture  the raw sound and raw feelings at the heart of Recollection. Recorded by punk\/hardcore  virtuoso Taylor Young (MILITARIE GUN, DRAIN, MSPAINT, GOD'S HATE) at the Pit Recording  Studio in Los Angeles, the EP is a highly satisfying introduction to the band's self-proclaimed  'hard indie' sound. 'Signals Crossed' kicks things off and wastes no time throwing the listener  into Recollection's blend of soaring instrumentals and Hynes' ferocious roar. His delivery  and cadences are as visceral as the lyrics are longing-an open-hearted lament at the challenges  of staying connected as life gets more complicated.  The members' long shared history is palpable in the music-it might seem strange to say that  music this furious sounding is comforting, but there's a real sense of familiarity, friendship, and  nostalgia in these six tracks. Songs like 'In Memorium,' 'Last Call,' and 'Less Is More' combine  crunchy power chords with chiming leads, all while Hynes explores grief, aging, and a longing to  stay close to friends, loved ones, and good times. It all makes for 15 minutes of music that could  inspire personal reflection just as effectively as rowdy shout-alongs.  Vivid Dreams closes with 'Car Doors (Oh Ashley),' a tender, acoustic ballad that makes it clear  that Recollection is about expressing something beyond just frustration. These songs might  have started in a place of sadness but there's also solace-an appreciation for the time spent with  the people who matter to you, even if it's not as much time as you'd like   TRACK LIST  1.
