A Million Dreams
Guest Directors
Here come the waves Hiccuped and phased Echo for days And days and days and days Wander, amazed Through the deserts that you made But a million dreams each night won't change your day They're not your savior Perfect, in tune Struggles, too soon Broken by noon And fading with the moon Slip your cocoon, But your wings don't leave the womb And a million dreams each night won't change your day They're not your savior

"Guest Directors’ debut EP 'These Beautiful Things' is jam-packed with ear-caressing reverb-soaked soundscapes, toned-down and mood-setting vocals, and really sharp songwriting all throughout its four tracks." - Northwest Music Scene

Guest Directors started as a casual side project between members of current Seattle bands The Navins, Mutiny Mutiny and These People Here. As collaborations turned into songs, long-time guitarists stepped up to singing roles and a sound started developing. Elements of post-shoegaze rock, dream pop, power pop and noise all make an appearance, but the songs don’t fit easily in a specific genre.

Sounds like: raindrops beating up evergreens.

For fans of: spooky soulful music, guitar interplay, female vocals, effects pedals, fireflies, alien blips and elliptical distortion fog.
