Check out this latest review from Stomp and Stammer: "With the EP trifecta behind them, Strange Waves finds Skalsky and company in an even more explorative phase. His narratives of battered hearts and souls in peril, sung in Lennon-esque vocal tones, are flecked with moments of offhand brilliance. Skalsky draws as much from Merseyside as he does Pink Floyd's epic psychedelia and the Byrds' sunny jangle. The title track's Brill Building beats swing hard enough to make anyone tune in, turn on and drop out ("I don't need my mind anymore now that I'm happy and sane.") Strange Waves is a work steeped in truth, love and resilience." More here.

"Don't let a specific music genre dictate the thrust of your album. Rather, vary and flex the style to your creative liking - song to song. That's an approach the Brooklyn-based group Dead Heart Bloom masters brilliantly on its latest release, Strange Waves." - Chuck Myers, Virginia Advocate

We're pleased to announce the release of our latest recording Strange Waves on vinyl record! This high-fidelity record, packaged with original Strange Waves cover art and inner sleeve, is available in limited quantities through the Dead Heart Bloom music site for $12.

Review from the Fall issue of Big Takeover magazine: "Most recently, Dead Heart Bloom released a series of EPs in 2008 and gave them away for free as digital downloads. Shrewed business move to turn fans onto music and let them see the value in paying for something down the line. Strange Waves is definitely worth whatever a full length goes for these days. Boris Skalsky and Paul Wood, both formerly of Phaser, have written a pleasant pop album that owes a tip of the hat to influences ranging from The Beatles (“Sentimental Cures”) to Radiohead (“Fall”) to David Bowie (Love Will Have It’s Day”). Well-crafted melodies abound throughout and the rich vocals are both warm and reassuring."

Dead Heart Bloom plays the 2010 CMJ Music Marathon on Saturday, October 23rd at R Bar in New York (Manhattan). We play at 7pm.

New review from eMusic:

At the risk of conjuring visions of Air Supply and Bread as you click
furiously away from the third full-length by Dead Heart Bloom, there
is something about Strange Waves that evokes the breezy charm and
golden comfort of soft rock. To be clear, New York City quartet Dead
Heart Bloom doesn't have anything to do with the syrupy sounds of
those '70s hitmakers; the band is simply so proficient at retrofitting
wistful, shoegazey moods to British Invasion hooks that the result is
instantly likable, an eerily smooth assimilation of the Beatles and
The Bends that seems too pleasant to be true.

At the center of Dead Heart Bloom is singer/songwriter Boris Skalsky,
a former member of Washington, D.C. psych-pop outfit Phaser who
composes classical string quartets and runs his own label in his spare
time. Skalsky's vocals are nicely equipped with an I Can't Believe
It's Not British accent, which comes in handy with the Anglo-pop
opener "Someday Will Not Come Again" and in various other
proclamations of doomed relationships and missed opportunities. Many
American bands have trafficked these grey, guitar-chiming skies before
— Starflyer 59 and Ambulance LTD come to mind — but few, if any, have
also aired out the vocal harmonies that Skalsky and guitarist Paul
Wood do here. Over an "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da" rolling piano, Wood and
Skalsky do their very best Simon & Garfunkel church-mouse harmonies on "Meet Me," while "Fall" wells up with massed vocals on what amounts to a long, blissful coda. The album's real ending, however, rightfully falls to spiritualized closer "Love Will Have Its Day." Skalsky finally stops battling with his mistakes and misfortunes, singing: "Bad things happen to the good/But it will be OK/Love will always have its day." Whether or not love's prevalence represents a victory or defeat for Skalsky is another matter entirely.

Thanks to the clubs, cities, and bands last week, and all the fans who came out and made the shows great. See you next time...
