New single from Danish artist Silla Dream (indie/alt rock)

My vision is to create songs brimming with a Cure-like eeriness and atmosphere, like they came straight off the set of Batman or something. I think this particular single has all of that – a crisp dark & heartfelt indie/alt story composed of moving, melodic guitars, lofi synths and romantic incompatibility issues. I’m really proud of it, tbh (and I’m quite picky..).

ICYMI: Priya Panda Vibes Dream Pop With “Temporary”

Priya Panda comments on crafting of “Temporary” and the tracks that she has yet to release: “We’re so used to thinking about the past or anticipating the future. It’s almost like a habit. I wanted to write about a topic we can all relate to and that’s wanting to be more present and living in the now. I’m guilty of it myself. I’ve had great moments or friendships or made memories that at the time, I took for granted and wasn’t even really there because I was too busy thinking of the next thing. The reality is one minute you’re here and the next minute you’re somewhere else, so I just wanted to write ‘Temporary’ as a reminder to ‘be here now’ because you can’t really ever get those moments back.”
