Thunder Dreamer - Capture (CD)
Barcode: 612851598126

Absorbing such things from the Midwestern heartland they call home, that tough, resilient authenticity runs through the band's new record like hot blood through cold, hard-working limbs. Sprawling out across eight monumental tracks, 'Capture' finds frontman Steven Hamilton in torch-bearing form. Thunder Dreamer specialize in writing songs that feel remarkably human. The emotional connections to the people and places that fade in and out of the record are not just a pertinent inclusion, but a vital one. Even when the band are crafting a gleaming slice of Americana - think Songs: Ohia's rollicking pomp - the whole thing is underpinned by an overwhelming poignancy. Some five years on from their initial outing, Thunder Dreamer offer an about-turn on 'Capture,' shaping the rawness of their previous work in to something altogether more complete and substantial; a gritty take on the great American songbook, with its arms and heart left open to all.
