SINGLE REVIEW: Capricore - Dreamer
Capricore's debut single 'Dreamer,' effortlessly weaves together the ethereal allure of dream-rock with a touch of classic kiwiana vibes. The musical landscape is painted with angelic vocals and atmospheric synths, creating a sonic journey that's both nostalgic and contemporary.
In a refreshing departure from conventional recording methods, Capricore drew inspiration from the raw energy of live performances, mirroring the approach taken by legends like the Foo Fighters. Stripping away the confines of a click track, the band embraced the spontaneity of their live mix, infusing the track with an authentic and vibrant feel.
'Dreamer' isn't just a throwback to the past; it's a testament to Capricore's willingness to push boundaries. The infusion of 808 bass and the artful inclusion of sampled, filtered guitar slides add a modern twist to the composition, elevating it beyond the confines of a traditional sound.
Aidan Ripley, the lyricist behind the magic, envisioned "Dreamer" as an abstract love song, a delicate exploration of love in an almost mysterious dimension. Drawing inspiration from the poetic brilliance of Bjork, Ripley crafted lyrics that are sweet, genuine, and infused with a sense of intrigue.
In essence, 'Dreamer' is a sonic tapestry that skillfully blends the old and the new, inviting listeners on a journey through time and emotion. Capricore's bold experimentation and Ripley's lyrical finesse converge to create a track that resonates with both the heart and the avant-garde spirit.
