Synth Pop from Draumr

Draumr, the solo project of French musician, producer and director Gabriel Cheurfa, is back with his latest single, “In A Daze.” Taking his artistic moniker from the ancient Norse word for ‘dream’, Draumr’s music and visuals transport listeners to a realm of surrealism and introspection, reminiscent of the works of David Lynch, Michel Gondry, Hayao Miyazaki and Jean-Pierre Jeunet.

Building upon his previous releases, including the genre-bending EPs Nefelibata and Ethereal Mildness, Draumr released his debut album, Drawn-Out Daydream, in 2020. The well-received record took listeners on an intimate and authentic journey, inviting them into a sonic universe that blurs the line between reality and dreams.

Now he returns with new music and brings us his brand new single and self-directed music video titled “In A Daze,” through which Draumr unveils a hypnotic and instantly catchy nu-disco synth-driven pop outing that takes the project to new heights. Following the footsteps of a bewildered character lost in the heart of a daunting city, the song invites listeners on a fantastical journey through time and space. Draumr’s grooving dream pop sound shines with glistening synth tapestries and a steady beat, while his smooth and rhythmic vocal delivery adds depth and soul to the track.

“In A Daze” is an instantly captivating electronic pop hit that showcases Draumr’s talent as a songwriter and vocalist. The song’s infectious melody and catchy hook-filled writing will have listeners swaying their heads in rhythm for days. Draumr’s ability to craft a sonic atmosphere that blends nostalgia with contemporary electronic elements is on full display here. The track’s disco influences add an irresistible groove to the dreamy pop foundation, resulting in a mesmerising and uplifting musical experience.

With “In A Daze,” Draumr proves once again that he is a master of creating immersive and captivating music. His ability to fuse genres and evoke emotions through his sonic palette is truly remarkable. Whether you find yourself lost in the cityscape or drifting through dreamlike landscapes, Draumr’s music serves as a guiding light, offering solace and a momentary escape from the complexities of everyday life.

“In A Daze” is a testament to Draumr’s artistry and his dedication to pushing boundaries within the realms of dream pop and electronic music.
