Edgar Everyone - “Who’s The Dreamer”
Edgar Everyone‘s “Who’s The Dreamer” is an upbeat, electro-rock journey that will get you moving and grooving from the very first beat. The song is funky and reminiscent of Tame Impala’s work from the album, Currents.
A captivating and bright synth arpeggio opens the song, laying the groundwork for the funky, pounding bass that powers this grooving energetic song. The song’s steady, straightforward drums let each component take centre stage and shine. “Who’s The Dreamer” has a genuine, dynamic, psychedelic indie pop feel, and there are even some wonderful disco elements tossed in for good measure. The clean electric guitars add to the groove of the song.
The song’s continually changing synth layers, which produce a dynamic and ever-changing sound and keep you hooked the entire way through, are one of its most notable aspects. A spoken word sample is included in the track’s dynamic break, giving the already fascinating production more depth and mystery. The song slowly builds to its climax, with a funky, loud, and pulsing synth crescendo that leaves you wanting more.
The lead vocal is soft and captivating, but occasionally reaching for falsetto tones over the chorus sections. Ethereal backing vocals give the song a hint of otherworldliness and wonderfully enhance the upbeat chorus. Overall, “Who’s The Dreamer” is a fantastic blend of genres that will leave you anticipating their coming EP, pencilled for release this summer.
