Amelia Dream Project

"Starboard"

The Amelia Dream Project is something of a local supergroup, with members of Ghostlady, Sista Otis, the Questions and many more coming together to tell the rather sweet story of a girl adrift in the world between wake and sleep. "Starboard" has an appropriately dreamy, ambient feel despite the classic rock leanings. "You couldn't get up today," singer Renee Hytinen sings, as the band lays down some awesome indie rock. We will be checking out more.—Brett Callwood
