Stolen Days dive headfirst into dream-pop, hip-hop, psychedelia and indie on their wildly adventurous self-titled debut album. The duo of Dub Sonata and Alex Fitts of The Kickdrums build on earlier singles ‘Butterfly’ and ‘Daydream’ with ten tracks that deliberately refuse to settle into one sound.
