Alternative Rock from DOAMIATH

Known as Dream of a Man in a Top Hat, the Boston-based duo is an act that makes psychedelic, post-punk and alternative rock music. Formed by guitarist and keyboard player Lee Leffler and drummer and bass player Michael Frackleton, the pair have a sonic history that stretches way back.

Originally making up two thirds of the Boston post-punk outfit Native Tongue who ruled the local music scene and beyond in the 1980s, after years apart they reunited as the curiously named Dream of a Man in a Top Hat to deliver their shared artistic vision. 2020 saw them make their introduction with the six-track EP Blunt Instrumentals and as the EP’s title would suggest, they first realised their return to making music together with instrumental cuts.

After showcasing their accomplished musicianship prowess on their first outing, they returned the following year with their first full-length record Sudden Return of DOAMIATH, on which the pair applied their original lyricism delivered via dual vocal performances. Sharing a string of well-received singles since then, they now bring us their latest release with their new single titled “The Destination”.

True to their alternative psychedelic roots, drawing on the formula of guitar-based instrumentation and kaleidoscopic vocal styles that’s proved so successful for them previously, with their latest track they drop a mind-bending trip of original rock music. Opened by twanging guitar riffs and a grooving bass line before the duo’s vocals enter to spin piquant melodic leads, on “The Destination”, Dream of a Man in a Top Hat once again deliver another engaging spacey alternative sonic journey.
