Brussels-based quartet The Ultimate Dreamers are not your average indie rock band. They’re a sonic expedition into the shadowy realms of goth, post-punk, and industrial, drawing inspiration from legends like Joy Division and Paradise Lost.
Their latest single, “Digging,” is a haunting dive into the depths of despair, a track that’s as unsettling as it is captivating. Produced by Len Lemeire (Implant, Anne Clark) and accompanied by a visually striking music video directed by Amanita Noir, “Digging” is a sonic and visual feast for fans of the dark arts.
The song opens with a somber, melancholic melody that sets the stage for the lyrical exploration of grief and loss. Fred’s vocals are raw and emotive, conveying a sense of deep despair and longing. The guitar riffs, played by Bertrand himself, are jagged and dissonant, creating a sense of tension and unease.
But there’s a strange beauty to this darkness. The band’s ability to blend melancholic melodies with driving rhythms and industrial textures is what sets them apart. “Digging” is a song that both repels and attracts, a sonic exploration of the darker corners of the human psyche.
The music video, directed by Amanita Noir, is a perfect visual companion to the song. Noir’s signature style, characterized by dark imagery and surreal symbolism, complements the track’s haunting atmosphere.
“Digging” is a glimpse into The Ultimate Dreamers‘ upcoming album, “Paradoxical Sleep,” and it promises to be a dark and intriguing journey. This band is not afraid to explore the shadows, and they do it with a raw intensity that’s both captivating and unsettling.
So, if you’re ready to dive into a world of gothic-inspired rock and roll, “Digging” is a must-listen. It’s a haunting, beautiful, and ultimately unforgettable track that will leave you wanting more.
