Peluché alumni Amy Maskell and Sophie Lowe have turned their attention to a sureally-named new project It Was All Dream. Catching our attention with the enveloping ‘Kookaburra’ back in April, the multi-talented pair have shared the romantically-inclined ‘Red Roses’. Intertwining skippy drum beats with softened synth sounds, ethereal clarinet parts and layers of satisfying vocal melodies, the band explain: “‘Red Roses’ is a song that comes with a deep recognition that love exists within us. Wherever the love is directed, its home is where the heart is. We can give and receive love to others, and we can also enjoy the love we create for ourselves.This is a song dedicated to those who are healing from heartbreak, and a reminder that the more you nurture your red roses the more they will bloom.” Touching on elements of icy 90s trip hop to the squelchy synth rock of the Flaming Lips, ‘Red Roses’ is a beautifully eclectic new piece from the blossoming twosome, who’s sonic palette seems endless. -Holly Mullineaux
