The alluring and thoughtful new single is their third release of 2023.
On the stirring and engrossing new single ‘Dream Song’, Shallow Alcove showcase the nuance and multi-faceted nature of the sound, melding endearing harmonies and a lush sound with dark lyrics that explore some more melancholy and sombre themes, making for a really interesting and thought-provoking sense of duality.
The thoughtful indie-folk outfit claim that the track was born in a dream, with the first verse entirely coming from such a moment and then written down once awake, and the sonic feel of the sound has this endlessly dreamlike quality thanks to its distinctive feel and almost hypnotising nature. The track almost feels nostalgic in a way, like something that you’ve heard before but can’t quite put your finger on where or why, and these interesting nuances and the lifting melodic nature of the sound have the track poised to be something of a breakout moment for Shallow Alcove and their intimate, rewarding style.
