A month ago we posted “The Romantic Egotist,” a promising single from Detroit “emo art rock” band In A Daydream’s new album This Side Of Purgatory. The album’s out today, and it lives up to that promise. Singer-songwriter Bryan Porter and friends have delivered a suitably epic meditation on grief, God, self-regard, and self-destruction.
