Our obsession with Dream of a Man in a Top Hat seems to grow with every listen, so when we heard that the talented rising duo had just released, WORRY, we were curious to listen and couldn’t wait to share our experience.
Setting the tone with a psychedelic and industrial hybrid soundscape, Dream of a Man in a Top Hat open WORRY with a subversive dimensionality, and we are intrigued to say the least.
Astral vocal ad libs detail the opus as the fierce bassline has us tripping. The opus expands with a question-answer style vocal design featuring both protagonists before a luscious synth comes into play.
The syncopated nature of what Dream of a Man in a Top Hat create stays true to their sound design for WORRY, lending itself to a cathartic sense of anxiety, in line with the almost existential concept of the song.
The guitar solos are fantastic, and what we love about Dream of a Man in a Top Hat is that it sounds like they are having fun with their creative process.
We always love the philosophical nature of what Dream of a Man in a Top Hat create, and have added WORRY to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we continue to stream their wider discography including their album on BandCamp, Buzzy Beans!
