Dreamers is the fifth album from Two Dark Birds—exploratory, dense, hook-driven, moody, exhilarated, comic, and open-hearted. Lyrically, it seeks out the meeting point between the inner life and the wider world. Musically, it’s boldly eclectic yet always swinging for the fences.
“Girl of Summer” sets the tone: a poignant portrait of a single moment—this moment, the forever-moment—radiating outward. “Good Boy Good” follows as a hook-laden pop gem (imagine Nick Lowe meets Spoon at Abbey Road), a rare salute to do-right guys. “Born to Fall” unfolds as a story of fractured family bonds, echoing both Sly Stone’s “Family Affair” and John Phillips’ Wolfking of LA. Elsewhere, the stark ballad “Sunbruise” drifts toward Cave/Cohen/Ferry terrain, while “The Law” delivers an American koan wrapped in blistering folk-rock.
The album closes with “The Song to End It All,” a true epic that begins with a hungover caveman in prehistoric France and ends inside a Bob Seger fever dream. Across ten minutes, it channels the anger, absurdity, and uneasy spirit of the times.
Produced by Todd Adelman and Steve Koester at The Woods. Two Dark Birds is Steve Koester, Jason Mills, Josh Roy Brown, Tyler Wood, Iris Clementine, Mark Lerner ,and Jeff Hill. All songs by Steve Koester © Herr K Songs 2026 ASCAP.
