Self-Titled is an album released by Dreams West and published for cassette through As Above So Below Tapes.[1] When asked about the cassette release, he stated: "I'm a big cassette head. Greg Langel (owner of AASB) is a big cassette head. It just seemed natural. If it wasn't for Greg, I don't think it would have ever happened. He's a real homie."[2]
In a write-up for Dreams West, Decoder describes the album as an "eclectic and sometimes psychedelic collage of 80's-inspired tunes."[2] Furthermore, collectiveconscious details the album as a "nostalgic homage to the sounds of the late 80’s/early 90’s intertwined with some shimmering synth solos and creative sampling work."[3]
