Caught in a Reverie is the debut album by Australian indie duo the Dreggs consisting of Paddy Macrae and Zane Harris. The album was released on 26 April 2024, independently.[1][2] The album was preceded by the release of four singles: "For Your Love", "Take a Little Time", "Places" and "Peeps with the Goods".[3] To support Caught in a Reverie, the duo will embark on album launch parties throughout Queensland and Victoria and on an album tour throughout the UK/EU, and set to return for another tour throughout Australia and New Zealand.[4][5]

Background

Caught in a Reverie was released independently by the duo, with all tracks co-written by Macrae and Harris. For years the duo had been releasing singles independently and had stated their plans to released their debut album on their socials throughout 2023.[6][7] The duo released four singles "For Your Love", "Take a Little Time", "Places" and "Peeps with the Goods".[8]

The duo announced the album and its release date on their socials on the 16 February 2024.[9] This was followed up with the announcement of album launch parties through out Queensland and Victoria in Australia,[10] and a tour to support the album throughout the UK and Europe all in 2024. The duo will follow up their UK/EU tour with another tour throughout Australia and New Zealand.[11]

In January the duo was announced as the first feature artist for Triple J Unearthed in 2024,[12] after appearing at their first Triple J sponsored festival Spilt Milk in 2023.[13] The duo was also set to make their debut at the Australian music festival Splendour in the Grass in 2024 on the main stage, but the festival was cancelled shortly after tickets went on sale, with Macrae stating "For everything to get cancelled in the blink of an eye, it's terrifying."[14]

Reception

[edit]

Rolling Stone Australia described the opening track "Peeps with the Goods" as a standout song and that it "sets the tone for the rest of the luminous indie folk tracks."[1] PerthNow writer Zach Margolius described the album as the soundtrack to "Sunshine Coast's laidback lifestyle".[15] Lauren Katulka of Sounds of Oz found the album to be "a little darker" but that it maintains the duo's typical "positive place". She also found the album to be "hopeful".[16] Tracey Moyle of Good Call Live remarked that the single "Places" has an "upbeat sing-along feeling that epitomises The Dreggs" and that this album was "truly worth the wait".[17]
