Dream Team

Format: Digital
Label: Spring Vibes Arkestra Séance Records
On Dream Team there is no:
Super League
State owned clubs
No Champions League place for 2nd, 3rd or 4th place
Dream Team is a pop beat to old football stickers.
Nostalgia for a time when you selected your favourite team because you liked the colour of their kit.
No one knew the name of the chairman.
There was no hospitality tickets to overseas fans to replace local fans.
Stadiums were sold out, because everyone could afford a ticket.
Dream Team is a celebration of what football was not what it has become.
The game is gone and Dream Team is the overture & requiem of
the beautiful game.
Although on Dream Team there's no funeral march of the 14 songs.
Spring Vibes have created a mix of genres representing the players that inspired the songs on the album.
There's northern soul,mersey beat,afrobeat,tropicalia,italo to name a few of the genres that inspired Spring Vibes.
Spring Vibes could not have created this album without the great singers we recruited for the songs

Obviously Dream Team will not reform football, but at least NRK P2 played our double single Cruyff/Breitner on it's release 8th July 2022.
The weekend that the final of World Cup has been played before instead of November.
The great paradox of the protest against Super League, why don't the fans protest against the Premier League or Serie A or La liga? The divide grows every week. Why can't there be a wage cap in all the european leagues? To make the leagues more equal?
Most fans will never see their team win the league or get a top four finish.
So I believe that we should just let the top four of Europe join their Super League and kick them out of their national leagues. I'm sure Spurs fans or Athletico Madrid fans would't be so happy after being 13th and 14th in the Super League and matches being played in New York, Qatar and Tokyo.
That's why the final song of Dream Team is a tribute to Cruyff.
Because Cruyff was the ideal of football, and that ideal has been lost.

Keegan
the new single from Spring Vibes has it all.
'Keegan' is the third single
from the forthcoming album Dream Team set for release in January 2023.
It's inspired by the football legend Kenny Keegan.
Even if it's only 3:16 long it sounds like an epic inspired by Merseybeat,
Classic Soul, Gospel and Psychedelia.

It kicks off with a soulful,gospel inspired sing along refrain with powerful and melodic female vocals. The drums and bass brings to mind the classic soul from Martha & the Vandellas, The Flirtations and The Supremes. There's a playful tambourine to keep your feet on the floor.
On the second refrain Spring Vibes bring out their spiky,fuzzed up rhythm guitars.
Together with the gospel like vocals the song soars and rises like a classic T Rex song from the seventies. There's a psychedelic bridge with dream-like vocals and mellotron that calm things down
before a long build-up of the third refrain.
Starting with only choir, tambourine & bass for a couple of bars before it lifts off when the main vocals enter along with drums and guitars
in what must be one of the most joyous seconds of music released in 2022.
The extended outro after the last refrain is reminiscent of The Beatles experimental period of 1967 and early Pink Floyd singles.
It's ambient,chill-out,atmospheric and psychedelic. With warm samples of mellotron sounds both backwards and forwards combined with the astral sounds of an omnichord.
Lyrically it references Keegan's time as a player with Liverpool and Hamburg.
As well as being one of the first football players to be worshiped by young fans and media like a pop star. The refrain is inspired by his famous qoute «I will love it, if we beat them» as a Newcastle manager directed at Manchester United as well as his nickname «the mighty mouse».
«I think it's nice that the music is inspired the Beatles and sixties soul music since it has a connection with both Hamburg and Liverpool.» - says Spring Vibes songwriter Goran Conradsen.

Spring Vibes are back!
with two new singles
'Cruyff' and 'Breitner'
set for release on Friday 8.July 2022
To compensate for the lack of a world cup finale in July this summer.
Spring Vibes are releasing two singles named respectively:
`Cruyff´ and `Breitner´. A third single called `Keegan´ is scheduled for release in August.
Spring Vibes will release a full album titled Dream Team in January 2023.
The album will have 14 songs inspired by football legends.
`Cruyff´ swings with a toe tappin backbeat and a finger snapping bass riff.
A melodic vibraphone riff encapsulate the finesse of the famous Cruyff turn.
The light jazzy vocals sounds enthralling and effortless.
While the refrain with it’s shiny synths and psych mellotron samples.
Sounds halfway between Their Satanic Majestic Request era of Rolling Stones and Tame Impala.

`Breitner´ - the motorik beat from kosmiche bands like Neu! and Can.
Might have been the most copied drum rhythm in populær music the last 20 years.
But when it’s used in a song named after the german bohemian Paul Breitner it sounds natural. When the swinging tambourine enters in the refrain,
it makes anyone wish to stroll down the street in a black and white adidas ‘74 track suit.
