IT WAS ALL A DREAM KOOKABURRA

Consisting of two members of long-standing TMR favourites Peluché, 'Kookaburra' is the intoxicating debut single by new project It Was All A Dream. The self-described "London dream-soul-dance duo's" first outing is an introspective piece of abstract synth-pop that's otherworldly production provides some much-needed escapism from the gruelling reality of modern city life. Sprawling over a substantial 5 minutes 15 seconds, 'Kookaburra' takes a serene detour towards the end, allowing soothing synth pads to spiral through satisfying chord changes before a driving acoustic beat kicks back in and the comforting refrain, 'oh no, you don't have to be alone now' carries the track through through to it's utopian finalé. Watch the accompanying video, directed and edited by Lois Stevenson, here now and keep an eye out for more from this promising new music prospect. -Holly Mulineaux
