Attack in Black's Ian Kehoe Rolls Out Debut as Marine Dreams

BY Alex HudsonPublished Oct 26, 2011

We haven't heard much from Attack in Black for a couple of the years, but the band members have been anything but idle. Frontman Daniel Romano has issued a pair of solo albums, plus one with Daniel, Fred & Julie, while guitarist Spencer Burton rolled out his Grey Kingdom project. Now, bassist Ian Kehoe is getting ready to drop his first LP as Marine Dreams.

According to a press release, this solo album offers a "slanted take on classic pop sounds" that is "broken, distorted and instantly charming." It's an apparently weird and arty take on "bubble gum pop."

The ten-song collection was recorded in Welland, ON. Tracking was done in Daniel and Ian Romano's home studio, and all of Attack in Black's members contributed. Interestingly, the press release refers to the collaborators as "former Attack in Black members," so it looks as if the band may finally be officially done.

Kehoe will be taking Marine Dreams on a short November tour that includes two dates in Atlantic Canada, plus four in Ontario. Scroll past the tracklist to see the schedule.
