Establishing the mood with super dimensional drums, synth arpeggios and textured risers, The Dream Spiral open Trigger To My Head with an evocative, cerebral vocal design and metaphorical prose. Needless to say, we are in awe.
We appreciate the innovative nature of the sonic experience, tapping into a 90s grunge meets alternative rock energy that fans of Blur and Depeche Mode will be able to connect with. We love the depth that the lyricism manifests, and its thought provoking nature. Speaking on the message of Trigger To My Head, The Dream Spiral confess, “The song is about the feeling of hopelessness that we can sometimes feel in the modern world.”
Trigger To My Head provides a raw and unfiltered portrayal of the struggles many of us face amidst the complexities of contemporary life. By confronting themes of despair, alienation, and existential angst head-on, the song offers us a cathartic outlet to process our own emotions and experiences. It serves as a reminder that they are not alone in their feelings of hopelessness, fostering a sense of solidarity and understanding within a society often marked by disconnection and isolation.
There is no doubt that Trigger To My Head also acts as a catalyst for dialogue and introspection, sparking conversations about mental health, societal pressures, and the pursuit of meaning in an increasingly fragmented world. By bravely addressing the taboo topic of suicidal ideation and the dark corners of the human psyche, the song challenges prevailing stigmas and encourages greater empathy and support for those struggling with mental health issues. Through its evocative storytelling and powerful imagery, Trigger To My Head invites us to confront uncomfortable truths, confront our own vulnerabilities, and ultimately find glimmers of hope and resilience amidst the darkness.
We learn that Trigger to My Head is the second single from the five-piece band from Brisbane, Australia, who have an upcoming album called Unholy, set for release in late June! We love what The Dream Spiral are creating, and have added Trigger to My Head to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we continue to stream the wider discography of the band including their debut single, Life on Mars, and sophomore release, Redemption, and anticipate the release of the album this Summer!
