Dishwalla’s new album Opaline shows a far different side to the Santa Barbara based band than fans may be used to.
Dishwalla’s previous two albums both begin with bold starts (“Pretty Babies” started off their debut Pet Your Friends and “Stay Awake” electrified the launch of And You Think), but “Opaline” leads in with a tranquil drum rhythm that takes the tone of a man lying on his back reminiscing about a dream.
The album shows Dishwalla has grown more comfortable with their rise to national status; the band is willing to experiment and take risks with their music.
