Dean The Dream shakes up the world of rock with his recent album Hitchin’ It To Heaven, a brilliant collection of seven songs that flow over a solid 30 minutes. Following up on the success of his previous album and singles, Dean The Dream, aka Brendan Alpiner, shares powerful music that feels so honest and vulnerable—it is both a shock and a delight. We’ve been loving Hitchin’ It To Heaven, so check it out down below!
The award-winning artist has worked with the producers-engineers of The Rolling Stones, Stevie Nicks, Adele, The Arctic Monkeys, Lana Del Rey, among others, and is known for creating a sophisticated sonic cocktail sitting at the intersection of multiple genres, including moody psychedelia, hypnotic blues, and classic rock ‘n roll. His creations are seemingly familiar yet refreshingly modern and new, and with a constantly present authenticity in each piece, the artist seems to know exactly how to hook his audience.
“I’ve always wanted my music to be for outsiders,” Alpiner said in an interview, “especially those within the gay or queer community. If you look at music history, we have these artists who’ve flirted with their fluid sexualities and hinted at their otherness, but I want to be someone who fully accepts and embraces their gay seuxuality, contradictions and all.” Being his unapologetic self, Dean The Dream captivates more and more listeners!
