Oct 11, 2011Dreams Come True will certainly appeal to anyone who enjoys their new wave artful and avant-garde, both of which are delivered in spades across this exceptional LP that will surely be lost on many Grizzly Bear fans looking for an extension of their sonic safety net.

Sep 12, 2011Dreams Come True was never going to reach the near untouchable height of his canon, but you'd be hard pressed to map out a better first attempt to break free from that diamond-encrusted leash.
-
Sep 9, 2011Having heard Taylor's fingerprints over a dozen fine records, it's great to finally hear one that he can call his own.
-
Sep 14, 2011Dreams Come True finds plenty of eclectic room in a deceptively small space.
-
Sep 12, 2011The result is disarmingly tender, adding a few heartfelt minutes of warmth and personal connection, something lacking in the rest of Dreams' gloss.
