Shut Up I Am Dreaming is pure bedroom art-pop with a thin Britpop glaze that is as poignant and self-effacing as it is self conscious and pretentious.
-
The sobering after-party to Wolf Parade’s debut.
-
The cumulative effect of Shut Up I Am Dreaming surpasses "I'll Believe in Anything"'s ostensible perfection. That's a brilliant song, yes, but this a brilliant album, ballooning with those sorts of moments on repeat.
-
Spencer Krug has clearly established himself as a singular talent in any given guise, group, or effort.
-
Even with a few overdone songs, though, Shut Up I Am Dreaming is a solid effort.
-
The poetry is too good, the gloom too cached in symbolism and fine melodies to feel trite or melodramatic.
