Best described as a hazy, feverish blend of italo-disco and soviet-wave, ‘Dream Machine’ also leans heavily into a brooding post-punk ethos, making for an artistic formula that’s highly magnetic and urgent, if not intense. Taken from the overarching album ‘Sex Distortion’, expected on October 31st via Music Website, the single showcases the nuanced and committed artistic work of New York City-based creative Pictureplane.
We are big fans of the single’s fringe and nostalgic character, with its gloomy, resonant vocals well fitting the brighter synth work and the punchy electronic drums. Delving deeper into the single, Pictureplane explains: “The track name comes from an art object created by the visionary artist Bryan Gysin in 1959, which was ultimately helped popularised by William Burroughs. It is a rotating cylinder on a turntable that creates a flickering light pattern which induces altered states of consciousness in people, which is the perspective from which the track is written.”
