    For every indulgent art-rock breakdown, there’s a simple pop ditty to balance it.

    The band's natural tendency toward tightly knit pop music, combined with an increasingly evident and more fully realized awareness of their strengths, makes Shaky Dream a great release.

    By maintaining forward momentum while having so much going on in every song, the band makes Shaky Dream an album that provides plenty of depth without sacrificing accessibility, striking a fine balance between catchy melodies and murky atmospherics.

    Just recently reaching their five-year milestone as a band, Dinosaur Bones have solidified their ability to weave talented instrumentalists through the voids of Fox’s lyrical sorrow without falling into the trap of indie pop redundancy.

    The second-gear driving speed and tastefully portioned guitars make Shaky Dream a pleasing if inoffensive listen, so It’s the occasions where the music becomes a tad disconcerting that really perk the ear.
