The Neon Sea Explores The Hypnotic Dreamscapes In New Single ‘Sleepwalker’

Published

on

Get ready to be entranced by the sonic mastery of The Neon Sea, the brainchild of Dublin-based songwriter Tom Doyle. Their latest single “Sleepwalker” is a genre-bending masterpiece that weaves together Alternative Rock, Post-Punk, and Shoegaze to create a truly immersive experience. With its hypnotic loop-driven soundscapes and sharp, hard-hitting edges, “Sleepwalker” is the perfect antidote to the monotony of everyday life.

The track’s dark, introspective themes are perfectly captured in its minimalist, no-frills production, courtesy of producer Dave Flood in Dublin and mastering by Christian Wright at the legendary Abbey Road Studios in London. Doyle’s vision for the song was clear: to create a hypnotic loop with a dark edge, something more immediate and raw than their debut single “As I Wonder”. Mission accomplished!

The Neon Sea’s music is heavily influenced by iconic acts like The Cure, My Bloody Valentine, Nirvana, and Ride, but they’re not afraid to push boundaries and explore new sonic landscapes. Their debut single “As I Wonder” received international airplay and glowing reviews, and “Sleepwalker” is set to follow in its footsteps.

But The Neon Sea is more than just a studio project – they’re a creative force with a unique visual identity, thanks to the abstract artwork of Doyle’s six-year-old son. It’s a truly family affair, and one that we can’t get enough of. As The Neon Sea prepares to take their music to the live stage, we can’t wait to see what’s in store.

For now, let “Sleepwalker” take you on a journey through the darker corners of your mind, and discover why The Neon Sea is one of the most exciting new bands to emerge from Dublin’s thriving music scene.

Kingdom Kome x RUEN see the “Cracks In The Foundation”

Published

on

Hip-Hop Heavyweight Kingdom Kome has just dropped a new single (with accompanying video).  “Cracks In the Foundation” (Produced by long-time collaborator RUEN) is a socially conscious dose of jazzy boom-bap.  As the emcee states “I was driving through my old neighborhood in Miami and it really had me thinking of the current state of the world today.  It got me in an introspective state and I made this message to the youth.”

Available via streaming platforms now, “Cracks In the Foundation” is the first leak from the Barrel Reserve LP fully produced by RUEN.  

Less than a year after the last collaborative LP the duo dropped, Malbec 2 Kingdom Kome reveals “we never stop working on music together.  A number of these tracks were recorded while we were preparing Malbec 2 but were better suited for a separate project.”

Following the high-end connoisseur angle, Barrel Reserve is expertly crafted boom-bap for the real hip-hop aficionado.  This extends to the album’s guest list, which includes Supreme Cerebral, Recognize Ali, Che Uno, DJ Exes, AjaxLo, Camarah Walleed and Soarse Spoken.

Kingdom Kome is still promoting his other recent LP for 2025 Alchemy II Ein Sof, which was entirely produced by another long-time production collaborator Onaje Jordan (Hometeam).
