First single of new Melbourne based band Dreamcoat.

Beautiful Kingdom

Melbourne based band, DREAMCOAT release the first single “GHOST LEGS” from their highly anticipated Debut EP. After hypnotizing crowds with their lush and dynamic debut Single ‘Beautiful Kingdom’, Dreamcoat continue to develop their blend of Alternative Pop and Psych-Folk on this EP featuring “Ghost Legs” as just the tip of the iceberg. “Ghost Legs’ taps into the human condition of absolute confoundedness and focuses on presenting a bookended experience to the listener in this torn state of mind. From the beginning we’re subjected to what seems to be on a superficial level, an Indie Pop tune, but we’re soon taken far beyond that, with Kieran Ebert’s lyrical content tearing rapaciously at our thoughts in what is too close & at arms reach for all of us. The chorus of Ghost Legs however juxtaposes this dejected plight with a frightfully catchy and confectionary melody, forcing us to see the beauty in the aforementioned “human condition.” Then there’s the superimposition of time signatures in which propels us back into the initial condition the lyrics impose on us. The climax of the song illustrates Dreamcoat’s forte of dynamic shift, crescendoing into an almost Post-Rock style pinnacle, with the vocals relaying the chorus line “You will be the last mistake I make.”

DREAMCOAT will play a headline show on the 31st of July @ The Curtin Band Room in Melbourne (supports TBA) to launch the 'GHOST LEGS' single and video. On the stage, DREAMCOAT shines brightly as one of Melbourne's best live up & coming acts. Having already sold out headline shows off the back of a song and video, the band continue to go from strength to strength as a live act and have already written half an album set to be recorded later in 2015.

The DREAMCOAT EP (out later in 2015) is almost a concept record, with a string of 5 songs that draw on the same thematic material in the lyrics but also the music itself. We hear a myriad of influences in this release, ranging from Grizzly Bear, Local Natives  and the intricate parts of Radiohead. The sounds these boys create are lush guitar blankets, ethereal moments of trance like bliss, which you’re soon knocked out of by the change to an odd time groove, then back into cordial and subtle verses with killer choruses. A smashing debut that will be released in mid-late 2015, keep your ears ready for this one.

Dreamcoat started in late 2014 with 4 young like minded musicians: Kieran Ebert (Vox, Guitar), Brayden McDonald (Guitar, Keys), Costa Hagi (Bass) and Owen Luby (Drums) writing pop songs tainted with their love affair with the technical and complex. They released their debut single “Beautiful Kingdom” in late 2014 after playing a sold out first show at The Grace Darling Hotel. They soon teamed up with Blank Tape Music on working towards achieving the band goals in 2015, and have been working diligently ever since on producing this 5 track EP to be released in the coming months.

The John Curtin Hotel hosts the release of ‘Ghost Legs’ on the 31st of July 2015, it’s sure to be a night of beautiful Alternative Pop.

“There is a dynamic shift in “Beautiful Kingdom” with ambience created through the slow paced bridges of dreamy guitar strums and gentle percussion which then gradually builds into a more layered and explosive arrangement, further strengthened by the vocals of Kieran Ebert.” - Bridget Hustwaite, The AU Review.

Melbourne based Dreamcoat fashion haunting pop songs equally intended for zoned out head bobbing as to be enjoyed by excessively emotional music nerds. The band’s sound is a melting pot of gargantuan guitar blankets, pounding percussion, brooding bass lines and bummed-out crooning from singer Kieran Ebert - earning themselves the somewhat fetching comparisons to Psych Folk gods Grizzly Bear and Alternative Pop giants Local Natives and Radiohead.
