DREAMCASTMOE BEND BACKWARDS

Washington D.C-based artist dreamcastmoe has a sound that's rooted in R&B and dance, with production that swaddles each track, giving the sound a warm and hazy filter. Their new single 'Bend Backwards' is out alongside a video that was conceived, shot and edited during the 2 week lockdown in Washington D.C. A beat that's made for shaking floorboards opens the track, gradually expanding. Hi-hats create a rhythm that's impossible not to move to, whilst wah-synthesiser increases the romantic sentiment behind the soulful and vocal that sings 'she know she beautiful...will you bend backwards, reach forwards, will you take a shot on a girl like her?'. The music video that accompanies the track is charmingly DIY, capturing various people at home singing along to the track and dancing in their rooms. dreamcastmoe explains: 'This song asks a simple question: will you go out of your way to make it all work?'. -Ellie Rose-Davies
