Making groovy psych-hued rock with an ethereal flair, Dream Phases is aptly named. The group’s gentle jangle and harmonic focus make for a chill treat on repeat, especially their latest, “Little Blue Magnolia,” written as a tribute to band members Brandon Graham and Jeanna’s Fornier’s young son.

The carefree themes and nostalgic nods recall classic West Coast hippie-pop—think The Beach Boys and Mamas and the Papas—only with a modern alt-pop feel that’s hipster-appropriate as well, as their set at L.A.’s Echo Park Rising festival made clear for happy crowds this past summer.
