Brighton-based electronic pop duo Sock Drawer return with “Bored” a woozy, slow-burning dream-pop track set in a parallel universe where they’re rich, famous, and finally on tour. In reality? They’re just... bored.

One of the earliest tracks written for their upcoming debut album, “Bored” began as a stripped-back acoustic tune—a half-baked escape plan rooted in a fantasy trip to Amsterdam. That trip never happened, but the daydream stuck. Over time, the song grew into a layered, sample-heavy voyage through inertia and imagination. Guitars pulse with restless energy, drum loops stutter and swirl, and the final section bursts into a euphoric 4-to-the-floor outro—a pop-fuelled hallucination of a tour that never was.

Vocalist Ebony Grace reflects on being a tourist in your own life adrift, daydreaming, and disconnected. “‘Bored’ is set in a kind of parallel universe—by the end of the track, we’re on tour and rich and famous. But really, we’re just daydreaming on the sofa,” she says.

It’s escapism disguised as a pop song—or maybe the other way around.

Beautiful

Sky is marked with water and fire flies away tonight
Sun shines into rays of rainbow lines
Take a piece of paper and trace my way back through
Build a bridge and tell a path to you
Every time I dive I'm finding more inside
Every time I fly the ocean still in sight
With visions, vision of the likes of you and me coming to be
Listen, listen as the voices of the sea are breaking free
With visions, visions of the likes of me and you coming to view
Visions, visions
In the scope of color I sense your image weaving through
Overlayed with shades of violet blue
Step into the river where dreams are recognized as true
Out beyond the waves I wade for you
Every time I dive I am finding more inside
Every time I fly the ocean still in sight
With visions, visions of the likes of you and me coming to be
Listen, listen as the voices of the sea are breaking free
With visions, visions of the likes of me and you come into view
Visions, visions
