STREAMER Delivers Masterful Tune ‘Possessify’
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’.”
What if the world isn’t too loud… what if it’s just your head?
Brno-based duo 2AP – Two Alien Planets tackle that familiar feeling in their new single “Sweet Harmony”: a warm, guitar-driven alternative track about finding your way back to the present when your mind refuses to switch off.
It starts with a bright guitar riff and Lenka K.’s airy soprano, sounding almost like a breath of fresh air. Then the song begins to expand. Guitars gather momentum, the rhythm lifts, and Jarek H.’s warm baritone joins the picture.
By the final chorus, it’s no longer one voice trying to quiet the noise. It’s two voices finding their way through it together.
And that’s where “Sweet Harmony” really hits.
The lyrics balance simple, beautiful things — wind, sunshine, rain, a strand of hair in the breeze — against a much less peaceful inner landscape: a “stormy brain,” angry birds and snakes of grief.
There are no wellness clichés here. No promise that everything suddenly becomes fine.
Instead, the song suggests something more realistic: maybe the beauty is already there. We just have to hear it.
Musically, 2AP blend the melodic warmth of alternative pop-rock with a cinematic indie atmosphere. It’s dreamy without drifting away, emotional without becoming gloomy, and driven by the chemistry between Lenka’s soprano and Jarek’s baritone.
Think 90s/2000s alternative warmth meeting contemporary indie songwriting, with enough guitar to keep things moving and enough space to let the lyrics breathe.
The artwork captures the same tension: warm flowers behind a dark fence. Beauty on one side. Something getting in the way on the other.
“Sweet Harmony” doesn’t ask you to tear the fence down.
It just asks you to look through it.
3:42 of dreamy guitars, two voices, and one very restless brain.
