Jeremy Jay Dream Diary 

Melodramatic indie pop crooner Jeremy Jay returns with Dream Diary, his full-length followup to the 2010 release Splash. Dreamy Diary, like the album that preceded, moves further away from the the more danceable sound explored on the 2009 electronic one-off Slow Dance, instead only sparingly employing synths for graveyard atmospherics. The new record is full of skeletal, guitar-led rock structures that reveal a darker side to Jay's twee heart, with the singer-songwriter coming off not unlike a gothic Jonathan Richman.
