Trophy Eyes - The American Dream (LP)

Released in 2018, The American Dream is the third studio album from Newcastle, Australia’s Trophy Eyes, following Chemical Miracle. The album sees the band expanding their melodic punk sound into bigger, more polished territory, combining driving guitars, huge choruses and emotionally direct songwriting. Written around themes of personal growth, uncertainty and finding optimism in difficult times, it captures Trophy Eyes at a pivotal point in their evolution. This Transparent Yellow vinyl edition is released through Hopeless Records and features the album’s twelve-track sequence, including Autumn, Friday Forever, More Like You and Lavender Bay. Originally issued in 2018 and repressed on yellow vinyl, The American Dream balances the band's punk roots with a more expansive alternative-rock approach, making it one of Trophy Eyes' defining releases.
