Dreamcar is a Los Angeles supergroup that nobody saw coming: three members of No Doubt, bassist Tony Kanal, guitarist Tom Dumont and drummer Adrian Young, teaming up with AFI frontman Davey Havok. They got together in 2016, and they went straight for new wave.
Their self-titled 2017 album on Columbia sounds like a love letter to synth-pop and new wave: gleaming keyboards, sleek, danceable basslines and Havok in cool, croony, romantic form. "Kill for Candy" is the song that grabs you, all nervous energy and a chorus with a hook that won't let go, while "All of the Dead Girls" has a darker, moodier glamour. It's the sound of four veterans having an absolute blast.
