“Twist and shout or get the fuck out”—a motto that couldn’t describe The Conquerors more perfectly. Your favorite psychedelic rockers are welcoming two more songs to your vinyl* collection. While “You Must Be Dreaming” dares you not to smile and bounce along, “Maybe Someday” is a perfectly grounded, pulsing contrast of contemplation. This 7” single is brought to you by High Dive Records, recorded at Element Recording with Joel Nanos.
Rory Cameron leads the quintet, writing numbers that give a nod back to The Byrds and The Beatles. The video for upbeat “You Must Be Dreaming,” shot and edited by Alec Nicholas, sets the vibe perfectly. We reminisce to a time where bands performed in suits and ties and answered applause with a bow of appreciation. Add a spike to the punch bowl, and the scene changes color completely to the tipsy, sweaty, raucous party you would expect to attend this weekend.
