Brooklyn’s Dream Diary are relative newcomers to the indie pop scene, and have yet to complete their first album.  The current plan is for an early 2011 release on Kanine Records, and this Thursday afternoon performance at PopFest is sure to be a preview of songs that will make their way onto that record.
