'New Distractions' represents a new era for Dream Phases. It's the moment when an already exciting band takes a step into the unknown. 'Where So Long, Yesterday' found the Los Angeles trio perfecting their psychedelic folk rock, 'New Distractions' explodes that sound, picking up the pieces to make different shapes. "New Distractions takes the group in new directions, towards a more expansive, complete sound that is more evolved than ever. It illustrates more of an experimental flair, with the guys showing a willingness to try new things and not get hemmed in by one particular sonic palette." ~V13. "Eclectic as this record is (ranging from garage fuzz to space rock), it's bound together by its harmonies, lush and ethereal." ~Shindig! Magazine.
