Our Basement,

In Roman mythology, the “Somnia” are beings that take on other forms in people’s dreams to progress them along. Our new song’s lyrics revolve around dreaming as a way to push the boundaries of reality, and how we can influence, and be influenced by them.

The original working title of this track was “Blade Runner” because it drew a lot of inspiration from the soundtrack along with similar 80’s fantasy/sci-fi movies a la Carpenter, Vangelis, and Moroder. With almost all synths on “Somnia,” it is a bit of a departure from our typical shimmering, psychedelic pop sound.

“Somnia” marks the first single to be released in preparation for our debut full-length album. The LP collects songs developed over the past few years during a time of reflection on the growing volatility in modern politics, society, and media. These reflections inevitably made their way into our writing, but you will have to listen carefully, because it is steeped in metaphor, wrapped in a patchwork of oozy-bruisey instrumentation, and laced in an effervescent production. It’s one hell of a trip.

Hope you like what you hear! Much more to come.
