Julianna Zachariou's "Dreamer Dreamer" Feels Like Finding a Lost '70s Recording
San Diego's Julianna Zachariou has this uncanny ability to make you forget what decade you're living in. Her latest track, "Dreamer Dreamer," doesn't just nod to '70s California folk rock—it genuinely sounds like someone unearthed a pristine recording from Laurel Canyon circa 1973.

How to Ruin a Day in Five Tracks (and Accidentally Save One). Content Warning.
Not every hymn belongs to God. Some belong to the grifters. Music is supposed to be art, and art isn’t meant to be pretty. It is supposed to move, create, destroy, heal.

This was during the 2000s indie rock boom, when soft vocals and quirky production ruled the airwaves.
