Sometimes a song sounds like an empty room in which only the echo of one’s own thoughts reverberates – „Dead Air“ captures precisely this feeling. Dream Bodies do not serve up smooth pop here, but rather a sombre mixture of darkwave and dreamy crooner that drifts through the night like wisps of smoke. Flanger-soaked guitars float through the air, synths hang like fog over a deserted street, and somewhere in between, a voice wrestles with the silence after a lost love. The theme is as old as music itself: longing, loss, the painful wait for words that will never come. But here it is translated into a soundscape that is both ghostly and beautiful. You can feel the emptiness. You can feel the cold distance. But you can also feel that restless heartbeat. You wonder if anyone is still listening out there. „Dead Air“ is not a song for sunshine and lightness, but for the midnight hours when you search for answers between cigarette smoke and starlight – melancholic, hypnotic, and that’s exactly why it’s so captivating.
