Muskego’s John Domanski and the Daydreamers reside in an almost deceptively airy space on their debut EP, Ignite. Consciously looking to the ’90s for inspiration, their sound approaches a masculine complement to the folk emphasis of Lilith Fair’s line-up or a postulation of Jars of Clay as more secular and angst ridden. With enhanced production, there’s potential here to blow up on current commercial alt-rock radio. The Daydreamers’ desire for making a spacious aural impression sits on the cusp of sounding a bit under-produced. If a full album is next for the group, they should have plenty of leeway to achieve the sonic equilibrium they seem to be pursuing.
