Welsh band Dream State have unveiled a brand new single, ‘Bloom.’ This marks their first release since the self-release of their EP Still Dreaming in January. The new track arrives just in time for their upcoming UK and European headline tour, which kicks off later this month.
Speaking about the new song, singer Jessie Powell shared:
“We’re all excited to showcase some more new material after Still Dreaming. This single represents more of our exploration into different genres but still keeping the original Dream State charm alive.
I vividly remember Aled and I jamming the verse riff in an Air BnB somewhere in Germany. It started with rhythmic ideas and I think that stands for a lot of the track with its Drum & Bass and Latin influence too. Aled does his thing and finishes off the demo, then the vocals and drums get developed after.
Lyrically, the song is about how much the fans’ support means to us all, but how with each step we take there’s a greater feeling of pressure which can sometimes make it difficult to enjoy the present moment. It’s hard not to look to the next show, tour or studio session and you can quite easily get wrapped up in anticipating what’s next instead of what’s right in front of you.”
Dream State will be touring Europe at the end of the month, with a concert scheduled for November 3 at the Ancienne Belgique in Brussels. Tickets for this show are available on the venue’s website.
