Concert Review: Dreamers Are Abound At Bowery Ballroom

In some ways, it is true that our style choices are reflections on our spiritual functions. What we choose to wear, even if not of our will, can represent where we are at in life. So what would you say about a guy with purple hair? How about a man with a huge dream-catcher on his mic? What do think about anyone with an Instagram that is @dreamersjoinus?

Playing at Bowery Ballroom, Dreamers were not a life-altering show because they played for those already altered by life. For many of us, there will come a point where we grow so tired of absorbing the anxieties, fears, and loathing of this world/our self that we have to make a choice: feed our exhaustion or spark our excitement for living. Obviously, Dreamers do the latter. Their songs are for those ready to feel motivated for life and love even if it means those that are not will diminish them. 
DREAMERS – SCREWS

You might ask how lead singer Nick Wold’s purple hair and dreamcatcher ignited this thought, but I have yet to see too many frontmen with either. If anything his aesthetic choice woke me to the heartfelt choices behind Dreamers’ songs such as, “Sweet Disaster,” “Painkiller,” “Screws,” “All Washed Out,”and “Last Love Song.” Of course, these tracks by title and, even by sound, may not seem like calls to love. Yet, Dreamers, by name and music, are all about underestimation. When you think of dreamers and idealists, you might think delusional and unreal. Still, if reality is made then why not create it into a dream, of which Wold’s voice could be its constructor.

Vocally, Wold’s voice slides through spacey melodies like hands sliding through screens. He treats vocal notes like apps you can move, switch, and download to get to a better game. For the Dreamers, it is unavoidable that others will try to play you, but, if you accept those that want to be on your team, then your dreams become worth fighting for.
