A Dream in Sound is an album by the indie rock band Elf Power.[1] [2] It was released in 1999 via Arena Rock Recording Company/Elephant 6.[3]
"Jane" was released as a single on Shifty Disco.
The album was produced by Dave Fridmann. It was recorded in Fredonia, New York.[2]
Trouser Press wrote that "with the almost orchestral sweep of this now-richly textured music, A Dream in Sound is a huge step beyond Elf Power’s relatively thin earlier albums, but Fridmann’s fingerprints are all over it, making the album considerably less distinctive and original."[4] The Chicago Tribune thought that "Andrew Rieger's sweetly plaintive voice gives the band's lilting melodies an air of hopeful melancholy, and if a few of the band's lyrical flights of fancy don't quite lift off, the songs on this disc rarely fail to charm."[5]
