Craig Walker of Power Of Dreams: 'It was a golden age. Now, it’s music by committee'

Many people felt the Irish band should have climbed higher in the 1990s. No wonder Craig Walker is happy to return to some unfinished business 

Power of Dreams. 

The new album from Power of Dreams is a lovingly-crafted time capsule. Fuzz-drenched guitars beam in straight from an indie disco of 30 years ago. Accompanying this retro rumble are lashings of reverb and hints of shoegaze-style distortion. And when frontman Craig Walker sings, the decades fall away in earnest so that 2021 becomes 1991.

“We were a 1990s band – it’s obviously going to have touches of that,” says Walker of Aüslander, the group’s fifth LP.
