DREAM STATE release new single ‘Anxious State Of Mind’
Ahead of their new EP ‘Still Dreaming’ which is set to be released on 26th January 2024 Dream State have given us another taste of it in the form of new single ‘Anxious State Of Mind’. The song adds a new palette of sounds to the Dream State sound with vocalist Jessie Powell’s range on full show as she goes from Amy Lee-esque operatics to powerful soaring melodies and screams. Musically the band mix pulsating electronic elements with arena sized guitars and pummelling drums with plenty of shifting dynamics and grooves that are bound to have crowds bouncing when it hits the live setting.
Speaking about the new single the band said, “…The song is about overcoming change and finding light at the end of the tunnel, and being there for someone whilst they navigate through a difficult chapter of their life. It continues the EP’s theme of not giving up and wraps it up in a positive, fun, & bouncy song. It’s one of our favourites from the EP and we can’t wait to play it live on our headline tour next year!’

Speaking about the upcoming EP, “We feel this is our best work to date, and we’re so excited for everyone to hear it! It felt like it came together naturally, with everyone collaborating in some way. We worked closely together to see if what we can bring to the table instrumentally/vocally can enhance the structure of the songs, using our own individual skillsets.
This EP has been another way for Jessie to express her pent up emotions and release some of the negativity in her brain in a non destructive way, to showcase how even when you’re at your lowest, or darkest point in life, that there’s always light at the end of the tunnel, and you can get through it!
It’s quite emotional listening back to the record because there was a period where the band was so close to stopping altogether. We think this whole EP stands for not giving up and our perseverance. We hope everyone enjoys it as much as we enjoyed making it!”
