The Story

Dear Reader's third album 'Idealistic Animals' is a deeply personal and introspective collection of songs that explore themes of loss, meaning, and humanity's connection to the animal kingdom. Frontwoman Cherilyn MacNeil's pure, passionate vocals glide over deceptively simple musical arrangements, creating a sweet yet bittersweet listening experience. Produced by Brent Knopf (Ramona Falls, ex-Menomena), the album blends indie folk with eccentric pop, earning comparisons to Joni Mitchell and Kate Bush.
