Eleventh Dream Day is an American rock band from Chicago, noted for a lo-fi, fuzz-heavy debut (Prairie School Freakout) and later acclaimed works such as Zeroes And Ones. Reviews characterize them as critically praised but commercially under-recognized.

Formed in Chicago in the early 1980s. Debut full-length Prairie School Freakout released in 1988; it was recorded quickly with a lo-fi sound. Members mentioned in reviews include Rick Rizzo and Douglas McCombs. Douglas McCombs later became associated with the band Tortoise. The band has been described in reviews as frequently underrated and having been briefly on Atlantic (per a DeBaser review).

Two DeBaser reviews frame Eleventh Dream Day as an underrated Chicago rock band. Praised for a lo-fi, fuzz-heavy 1988 debut (Prairie School Freakout) and a mature later record (Zeroes And Ones). Reviewers note cult status, limited mainstream impact, and members' involvement in other projects.

For:Fans of indie/alternative rock, lo-fi and underground 1980s–2000s rock

 The album was actually recorded in July of the previous year, in just six hours (11:00 pm - 5:00 am) and in one take, allowing fuzz and distorted amplifiers to give a lo-fi sound to the entire work.

 If there were a ranking of the most underrated bands in the music scene of the last twenty years, they would rightfully be among the top positions, given that they have never managed to find success befitting the work they produced, even though they have often been praised by critics, even having a label like Atlantic (which, however, dropped them after two albums) and even collaborating with bands like Yo La Tengo.
