Rock from Dream of a Man in a Top Hat

Hailing from Boston, alternative rock outfit Dream of a Man in a Top Hat is formed by two thirds of the 80s post-punk band Native Tongue. The duo features multi-instrumentalists Lee Leffler on guitars, keyboards with vocals with Michael Frackleton on drums, percussion, bass, keyboards and vocals who both draw on their extensive musical experience in their new project.

With decades of time spent playing together, they’ve developed an unmatched sonic chemistry which they apply to their own unique take on the rock style. Rhythmic grooves, swaggering vocals and psychedelic touches all combine on their original sound.

After initially starting Dream of a Man in a Top Hat as an instrumental endeavour with their debut EP, the aptly titled Blunt Instrumentals, since last year’s album Sudden Return Of DOAMIATH, they’ve lifted their sound with the addition of their vocal work.

Now with a focus on releasing a string of singles under their name, they bring us one of their latest works with the single “All Time Is Borrowed Time”. Following on from their first single of this year, “Unfamiliar Streets”, the track is the perfect taste of the pair’s creative vision.

Packed full of jangly guitars and buzzy synths among a colourful arrangement, Dream of a Man in a Top Hat spin a hypnotic sound. With a driving snappy beat, a laid back vocal delivery carrying catchy lines, on “All Time Is Borrowed Time”, the band lays down a truly unique soundscape that transports you to another realm of grooving alternative rock music.
