Nicole Canaan = Phoebe Bridgers’ Punisher + Beach House Nicole Canaan’s “Dreaming Scheming” should be the dictionary definition of dream pop. The lyrics roll off Canaan’s beautiful voice, sinking like a stone in the whimsical, dreamy abyss of synths. With lyrics such as “I dreamed of what I would say when I saw your face” and “Why should I be there for you now / You must be dreaming visions / Scheming to think I’d come back,” Canaan creates anger with an air of nostalgia about it, wrapped up in tenderness. “Dreaming Scheming” is a dream—far away yet reachable all at once. –
