A German band Roller Derby presents us their new single “Dreams”.
Following the acclaim of their captivating Always on Mind EP last year, Hamburg’s dream-pop duo Roller Derby returns with new music poised to captivate audiences throughout 2024.
Their latest single, ‘Dreams’, delves into the intricate emotions of intense relationships, exploring themes of loss, longing, and the quest for connection. Evolving from their previous works, the track boasts a richer, more textured sound characterized by distorted bass, driving drum beats, and cascading waves of guitar. Philine Meyer’s distinctively soaring vocals effortlessly glide above the instrumentation, beckoning listeners to immerse themselves in a world where reality and fantasy intertwine.
Lyrically, ‘Dreams’ paints a poignant picture of emotional vulnerability and longing, with lines like “When I saw you in my dreams / made me fall to my knees…” resonating deeply with listeners.
Having sold out shows across Europe, including a recent performance at The Shacklewell Arms in London, Roller Derby has already left an indelible mark on the music scene. Their appearances at prestigious festivals such as Reeperbahn Festival and SXSW, coupled with features on prominent Spotify playlists like Feel-Good Indie Rock and Indie Running, have solidified their position as one of the most exciting acts in the genre.
With a promising lineup of singles slated for release in 2024, Roller Derby is poised to continue enchanting audiences with their heartfelt, shimmering soundscapes.
Recorded by acclaimed music producer Moses Schneider, ‘Dreams’ is accompanied by a visually stunning music video directed by Stephanie von Beauvais, perfectly capturing the ethereal essence of the track through a sparkling, surrealist lens.
