Dreams makes me question what music is supposed to sound like. They take sparse electronic drumbeats and distorted keyboards—elements typically used in lush, modern hip-hop and R&B—and throw them into a swell of conflicting sounds and samples. Even the auto-tuned vocals destroy expectations, their off-kilter, unsettling tones unlike sweet and silky mainstream pop. Dreams is the home recording project of experimental musician Da Floretta Lamb, who has been playing shows in Portland since 2013. After taking a break from live sets in the fall of 2015, Dreams returns tonight with a newly added drummer for their first show of the year. Zero Wave, a vintage clothing pop-up run by Beth Ann Dear of local bands Mini Blinds and Appendixes, curated this special lineup. CAMERON CROWELL
