BEAUTIFUL THINGS GET SET FOR TAKE OFF

Ethereal pop-rock band, Beautiful Things, has announced February 25 as the release date for their new EP. This reimagining of their debut album is a collaboration with former Screams For Tina bass player Grahame “Billy” Budd. A mutual deep appreciation for alternative 80s rock brought the unlikely trio together, despite their diverse backgrounds. Singer and songwriter Dina D’Alessandro hails from Tucson, AZ, bass player/producer Budd is from London, England, and keyboardist/guitarist Sean X grew up in both Los Angeles and Ensenada, Mexico. This shared admiration can be heard throughout their soon-to-be-released EP, “Dream World Revisited.” A musical experiment of sorts, “Dream World Revisited” is comprised of re-recorded songs. The original versions were previously released almost 10 years ago on the Beautiful Things debut album “Dream World” when D’Alessandro was solo. Now, joined by Budd and X, and with the help of veteran alternative rock producer/engineer Michael Rozon (Ministry, Melvins), Beautiful Things has breathed new life into some of their favorite songs. The re-recorded tracks feature more electronic elements and a contemporary feel. Classic alt-pop icons like Kate Bush and Gary Numan, as well as modern artists like Tamaryn, are influences heard throughout “Dream World Revisited,” but it’s Dina’s deeply personal lyrics that set Beautiful Things apart. Listen for yourself and discover why critics have called their music “pure pop-rock heaven.”
