Singapore Dreaming [Cassette] [Purple Shell]

Subsonic Eye - Singapore Dreaming [Cassette] [Purple Shell]

In less than a ten-year span, Subsonic Eye have established a deep catalog across jangle- and indie-pop spectra. On their 2023 album All Around You, the Singaporean five-piece refined their signature snappy hooks with a renewed appreciation for the natural world's entanglement with their urban milieu. Ever enraptured by nature and their surroundings, Subsonic Eye have dedicated much of their music to celebrations of their environment. Their fifth album, Singapore Dreaming, centers their hometown through a more focused lens. Where All Around You comprised a space to sit with the complex feelings inspired by the intense world we inhabit, Singapore Dreaming is that intense world itself - Subsonic Eye's interpretation of their high energy urban context refracted through straight-to-the-point, poppy, ergonomic songs tinged with tension that could explode at a moment's notice. Despite the newly honed vision, Singapore Dreaming still has all of Subsonic Eye's signature elements: spellbinding walls of tone, hooky riffs, zippy rhythms, and punches in the perfect place - all led by singer Nur Wahidah's dreamlike voice, whose vaporous and velvety character always makes the layers whole.
