Gap Dream is an American psychedelicsynthpop band founded by Gabe Fulvimar[1] in 2012 inFullerton, California. As the band’s singer, songwriter and instrumentalist, Fulvimar is the only regular member of Gap Dream and solely responsible for its musical direction. In live performances, Fulvimar is accompanied by guitarist Corey Lanigan, and bassist Bobby May.[2]
Gap Dream’s sound owes its origins to Fulvimar’s love of 60s psychedelic pop combined with his interest in vintagesynthesizer sounds. Born inAkron, Ohio,[1] he grew up listening toSonic Youth,Pavement and was in an early version ofThe Black Keys.[1][3]
In 2010, Fulvimar metBurger Records cofounder Lee Rickard[4] during a Burgermania artist tour, which had stopped inCleveland, Ohio, Fulvimar’s home at the time. Inspired by the Burger artists performing that day, he kept in touch with the Burger team, eventually sending them a sampling of self-recorded demos.[5] Impressed, Burger released Gap Dream’s self-titled album on cassette in January 2012, followed by the January 2013 releaseShine Your Light, a project on which he collaborated with Conspiracy of Owls guitarist/vocalist Bobby Harlow.[6]In December 2013, Fulmiver’s Gap Dream project coveredThe Velvet Underground's "Sister Ray",Lou Reed's 17-minute ode to the gritty underside of New York City, on Burger Records'White Light/White Heat tribute.
In July 2020, Gap Dream was included[7] in accusations of sexual assault[8] surrounding Burger Records, which led to the collapse of the Burger Records label and store.[9]
