Dreamy is an album by the indie pop band Beat Happening, released in 1991.[3] The band recorded the tracks in a living room and in a professional recording studio.[4]

Release and reception

Accompanied by the "Red Head Walking" and "Nancy Sin" singles, Dreamy was issued in 1991.[5]

The Chicago Tribune wrote: "It's a stripped-of-conventions, anti-pop stance that could sound just as calculated and empty as some elaborate pop productions, but Beat Happening imparts both quirky charm and a sense of immediacy to its material." The St. Petersburg Times deemed "Collide" "one of the eeriest songs to come along in a while... It's eerie in a playful, sickly pretty way."
