The Dream That Stuff Was Made Of is the debut studio album by the indie pop band Starlight Mints. [5]
The title references the line "The stuff that dreams are made of" from The Maltese Falcon, and, second-handedly, Shakespeare: In Act IV of The Tempest, Prospero says "We are such stuff / As dreams are made on, and our little life / Is rounded with a sleep."
The album was recorded in 1997 and 1998, years before it was released by See Thru Broadcasting. [1]
Pitchfork called the album "a short, well-sequenced offering of punchy orchestral pop." [6] The Houston Press wrote that the album "offers honest-to-God anthems with catchy refrains that sound happy even when they aren't." [7]
