Taste Test: Arson Daily upend the American Dream as nothing more than a ‘Pipe Dream’
The indie-pop band remind that the true and real things in life are about doing what you love.
Welcome to Taste Test, a song/video review series of SubmitHub-only gemstones
The American Dream is no longer a white picket fence around a homely, warm, dazzling-white two-story house. It isn’t emerald green front lawns, two-car garages or even raising a family (not in this economy!). But it’s something more primal that grows and growls from deep inside. Indie-pop three-piece Arson Daily reframe what the American Dream means today, casting aside ’50s Home & Garden magazine spreads, and replacing the past with the truth: we’re all feeding a machine of artistic endeavors. Some of us write or play music or sculpt clay or draw comics. “If you’re selling a dream, don’t even bother with me,” sings frontman Zach Dunham, whose cheese-chasing is more about following his heart than material desires. Alongside band members Quincy Platt and Adam McLean ignite a rebellion of their own and remind that the real secret is what’s unseen.
“Pipe Dream” is the lead-in to the band’s debut LP, Late Reflections.
