Behind the Hedges: ‘Life in the Burbs’ by The Dream Chasers

‘Life in the Burbs’ by The Dream Chasers With ‘Life in the Burbs,’ Bridgette and Peter (aka The Dream Chasers) unfold the full range of their artistic creation. They take us on a journey through the suburbs, which includes not only the visible hedges and houses but also the hidden longings and dreams of their inhabitants. With a mix of melancholic reflection and life-affirming euphoria, they paint a multi-layered portrait. The musical accompaniment is as diverse as the emotions of the residents. From indie pop melodies that capture the quiet of a Sunday morning to powerful indie rock chords that reveal the hidden wildness behind the manicured facades, The Dream Chasers offer a soundtrack that both soothes and challenges the listener. The catchy riff in ‘Life in the Burbs’ acts as a musical guide that immediately captivates the listeners and takes them on an acoustic journey through the complex emotions of suburban life. It is the artistry with which this riff captures the essence

Tacoma Narrows

The track, “Tacoma Narrows,” is a song inspired by the infamous bridge collapse of the same name. It speaks to how a single event can turn your life upside-down, like a wildly rolling, crumbling bridge.
Dies waren die ersten Infos zu diesem Song von Point Lobo, vielversprechend würde ich sagen, vielversprechend und auch sehr ungewöhnlich.
Kurzer Hand habe ich den Track dann gestartet und wurde von coolen Synthpatterns im Stile der 80er überrascht, gefolgt von Vocals die doch auch sehr an diese Dekade erinnern. Von Anfang an wird ein cineastischer Touch mitgeliefert der bis zum Schluss hin enorm gesteigert wird und in den improvisierten Solis von Hitomi Oba und Nick DePinna seinen Höhepunkt findet. Das Gesamtbild des Songs lebt vom Ausdruck bzw. dem Eindruck der durch die Synths und den Vocals geschaffen wird. Das dazugehörige Video rundet das exzellentes Gesamtpaket ab. So we have to say Achtung: Point Lobo, Synthwave meets a bit Synthpop and ends in an atmosphere of energetic improvised solos and last but not least, "Tacoma Narrows" is only one track of the six-song-EP, where every single track is worth to listen.
