What are they looking for?

Is it a deep meditation on the winding journey of life? Is it a mystery that will be revealed at a later day? Why were Velvet Trip wandering around floral labyrinths in the visuals for their new track ‘Electric Dreams’… Maybe it was just a nice day for a stroll. Whatever the reason, we’re finding ourselves wishing we were there with them as we bop along to their aptly titled new tune ‘Electric Dreams’.

The tune follows a string of singles – ‘It’s Only Human’, ‘Moving On’ and ‘Silly Boy’ – and sees the duo slow things down and sink into a sunny groove, driven by floating harmonies and heavenly glock work.

“I was experimenting with different methods to find inspiration,” frontman Zeppelin Hamilton says of the song. “I had some books lying around in the garage including a Jim Morrison poetry book, The Wind-Up Bird Chronicles, and some other random stuff. I would put my headphones on, play the instrumentals, and flick through the book. Stopping at words that evoked or jumped out at me, I made a word bank and constructed sentences this way. This song is a result of that experimentation and it came out super weird..It was so much fun to make”.
