Canadian group Neon Dreams goes back to their roots with the release of Acoustic Sessions.
"Re-working a track this way is a cool opportunity because it taps into our roots as a group," said drummer Adrian Morris, in a release. "We all started out playing and writing music on live instruments without the use of digital instruments, so it's really fun to take a track and make it work that way."
Acoustic Sessions features originals like “Marching Bands,” “Love Experts,” and “Survive” in completely new forms.
"Playing acoustically is a great way to expand the way we look at our own music," explained guitarist Matt Gats. "It helps our creativity, musicianship and keeps things interesting! This really is the ultimate test of a song.
"If it works in a raw, stripped down format and people still feel the emotion of the lyrics and vibe of the instruments we know we have done a good job."
Neon Dreams is also gearing up for a 16-date tour across the U.S. during the month of January, and will be the opening act for Hedley’s cross-Canada tour from Feb. 5 to Mar. 23.
