Artist to Watch: Baydream Unleash Debut EP “Cosmos”
Not even a month since debuting on the scene, Baydream is back with the debut EP, “Cosmos.” Baydream’s debut singles, “The Flame” and “Peasants,” were released on the same day last month. The pair of singles are not on “Cosmos;” thus, the four-track EP introduces fans to four never-before-heard songs that demonstrate why Baydream is a rising star.
“Cosmos” is an eclectic body of work. The EP takes listeners on a sonic journey. Akin to the EP’s name, the EP has a spacey, futuristic sound. It is Alternative, Experimental, Indie, Pop, Rock, etc. It truly has its own sound, and Baydream does a great job of showcasing versatility.
“Cosmos” commences with “Leaving.” “Leaving” has synthy sounds with a rhythmic, catchy drum-based backbone. The vocals are soothing and blend with the instrumentation. Track two, “Shatter Matter,” keeps the cloudy sound, but adds electric guitar and has a more Soft Rock ambiance. Baydream’s crooning maintains the euphonious, laid-back tone that is pervasive in Baydream’s music. The EP then turns to “Enigma.” Ironically, “Enigma” has an experimental, unique sound. Baydream uses a blend of autotune and an almost Rap-like flow to express the clever message of the song. The final song, “Fooled,” slows the pace back down a bit and is a great record to serve as the closer for the EP. “Fooled” has a more traditional sound to it, but still maintains the distinctive tone that Baydream is known for.
“Cosmos” is the perfect fall EP. Although, the EP is great for any occasion, it does have a “sitting by the fireplace” or “being out in nature, watching the stars or leaves fall” sound. Each song on the EP has an infectious, memorable sound and resonating lyrics. Press play of “Cosmos” and let it take you to another world.

If your twenties feel like a long, weird road trip with no GPS signal, Middle Seat is the album playing on loop from the auxiliary cord.
With their second EP, rising indie pop artist Sid Dorey has crafted something that sounds like growing pains, healing hugs, and that one late-night car ride where everything almost makes sense. Drawing on personal experiences with loss, strained family ties, and the complexities of queer love, Dorey’s latest project is a time capsule for a generation trying to piece itself together — without a manual.
Dorey’s lyricism is unflinching. On Unlovable, they take on the voice in your head that tells you you’re too broken to be loved. On What Comes With Heaven, they confront the fallout of religious trauma with eerie grace, creating a track that feels both sacred and defiant. These aren’t just songs — they’re survival anthems.
But it’s not all shadows. Middle Seat offers just as much warmth as it does weight. It’s about choosing who’s in your life. You can’t control everything, but you can control who’s around you. That’s power.
That message resonates deeply with their growing fanbase, many of whom first found Dorey through their viral TikTok performances — stripped-down moments of vulnerability that mirror the intimacy of the EP. Their authenticity has led to placements on Spotify’s New Music Friday and Apple’s New in Indie, but it’s clear Dorey is after something bigger than numbers: connection.
Sid Dorey isn’t just part of the next wave of indie pop — they’re shaping its emotional language. Middle Seat doesn’t pretend to fix everything, but it does something better: it reminds you that you’re not alone in the mess.
So next time you’re stuck in life’s middle seat, turn this on. It won’t solve your problems — but it might just help you stay.
