It's been six months since we last heard from Dream Brother, the experimental recording project helmed by One For the Team's Ian Anderson. Back in January, Anderson released a pair of tracks that found him collaborating with Paul Sprangers of Free Energy and John Vanderslice; this time around, Anderson teamed up with Grant Cutler (formerly of Lookbook, now of Grant Cutler and the Gorgeous Lords, WolfLords) for a digital 7" called Islands & More Islands.

For those longing to hear a more straightforward pop performance from Cutler, first track "Islands" is a welcome foray. Anderson lays down angelic vocal layers behind a driving, '80s-inspired beat and bright guitar riffs, leaving plenty of space for Cutler's rich and typically under-utlized voice to shine through. As the title suggests, B-side "More Islands" plays in a similar sandbox, but offers up a darker new wave vibe.

"I'll be releasing a pair of songs every so often and they'll usually include buds of mine whose music I love," Anderson told us back in January. If all of his Dream Brother releases are executed this well, it'll be well worth the wait between tracks.
