Pipe Dream/Sam Brenner/Joshua Robert

Recorded locally at Whiteout Audio, Pipe Dream's new EP Horizons shows off the local band's sensitive side. That's apparent right from the start as the opening title track sounds like a Green Day covering a Coldplay tune. The chorus — "I feel nothing at all" — speaks to the song's somber theme. But the music simmers and then soars, making the song into a potent power ballad. The band nicely uses electronic piano in tunes such as "Ghost (Crowds)" and "Castles." For this show, the band will play tunes from this EP as well as tracks from its back catalogue. (Niesel)
