The three-piece band STREAMER creates a brand-new sound they refer to as “indie trance” by fusing dance and trance electronics with layered vocals, catchy guitar riffs, and melodies. Their music is a heart-pounding, sing-along crowd-pleaser for all ages, and their soundscapes span all genres, so they provide something new. Having performed for sizable crowds for many years, they have a great sense of melody.

Their latest release, “Possessify” has emotional lyrics that are a reflection of their perceptions and experiences. Traditional trance rhythms at 138 bpm were used to produce the tune, and a live rhythm guitar was added to add tension and a mid-range pulse.

Then, STREAMER builds suspense with melody and piano chords. The verse is characterised as “Floydian,” with a textured, subterranean tone, and a massive build that culminates in a wall of guitars. Unknown fact: the final, scorching lead was played on the guitar in only one take. 

Tom uses a Custom Fender Stratocaster guitar through a Line 6 Helix and a Paul Reed Smith (PRS) Custom 24 for his instrumentation. Jez plays a Line 6 Helix and a Warwick Infinity bass guitar. Several plug-ins were used in Ableton to create the drums, production, and midi instruments. Freddie uses Roland for his e-drums.

On the single, STREAMER says, “‘Possessify’ is about courage and conviction, not losing creative souls to the daily grind and the absolute need to ‘Feel Free, Fly High, don’t get so Possessified’.”
