The A side begins with the brooding \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/powderbluemusic.bandcamp.com\/track\/go-on-forever\" target=\"_blank\">Go On Forever,<\/a>\u201d before cranking it up for the <a href=\"http:\/\/powderbluemusic.bandcamp.com\/track\/dream-in-black\" target=\"_blank\">title track<\/a>, and then slowing it down again for the meditative, and aptly titled, \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/powderbluemusic.bandcamp.com\/track\/the-haunting\" target=\"_blank\">The Haunting.<\/a>\u201d The B side gets going with the rocking <a href=\"http:\/\/powderbluemusic.bandcamp.com\/track\/hot-fire\" target=\"_blank\">\u201cHot Fire,\u201d<\/a> complete with soaring vocals, organ swells, and tech glitches that propel you into <a href=\"http:\/\/powderbluemusic.bandcamp.com\/track\/all-of-his-love\" target=\"_blank\">\u201cAll of His Love.\u201d<\/a> The album closes with the rousing and celebratory <a href=\"http:\/\/powderbluemusic.bandcamp.com\/track\/turn-to-dust\" target=\"_blank\">\u201cTurn to Dust,\u201d<\/a> before fading away into the ether. The interaction of the low end, the high flying guitar and synth combo, and dreamy vocals takes the listener on a beautiful trip that\u2019s over all too quickly. Definitely pumped to hear what Powder Blue conjures up next.
