PLGRMS DREAM YOU UP

The repeated line “I’m just waiting for more” in PLGRMS’ brand new track ‘Dream You Up’ probably sums up how most of you have been feeling in the six months since the Sydney’s Jacob Pearson and Jonathan Bowden last released music. The good news is, your patience has paid off, as ‘Dream You Up’ is nothing short of magnificent. Vivid and tightly-timed electronic percussion and breathy vocals lead us to thrilling choruses of bright electronica that encapsulate the feeling of meeting a mysterious new love. It’s slick and dark and playful; reflecting the space created by a lovesick, runaway imagination. For PLGRMS, the appeal is in the unknown - "By nature we just can't help ourselves and want to find out what it is. It's the anticipation and the thrill of what we don't understand. I’ve gone through it, but when you unveil the truth, the magic just disappears. So, it's about stopping yourself from understanding it completely, so that thrill can hang around a bit longer." With a stunning track like ‘Dream You Up’, not to mention back-ups like ‘Gemini’ and ‘Fools And Their Gold’, it’s not likely that this rising Australian duo will escaping our radar anytime soon.  - HT
