From the very first shimmering note of “Dreaming (Wide Awake),” under:tones usher us into a sonic world where memory and motion intertwine. The international trio’s debut single is nothing short of transportive—a euphoric blend of shimmering synths, cinematic textures, and soul-drenched vocals that sticks to your skin like a summer sunset. This is more than just a song; it’s a carefully crafted mood, a feeling you didn’t know you’d been missing.

Reeves’ vocals breathe life into the track, effortlessly riding the warmth of analog-driven beats and dreamy melodic layers. There’s a careful balance of nostalgia and optimism here, with each element—whether it’s a swelling pad or a kick drum—carrying emotional weight. The result is a song that feels like coming home to a place you’ve never been but always longed for.

The music video, directed with cinematic flair by Cristina Principe, turns that longing into a visual poem. Set against the backdrop of a hyper-surveilled Los Angeles, it tells the story of Zeno, a teen carving out moments of authenticity in a digitized world. It’s both raw and uplifting, offering brief glimpses of freedom in headphone-fueled joyrides and quiet moments of connection.

As the debut release from Through The Void Records, “Dreaming (Wide Awake)” makes a bold statement—not only for under:tones but for the label’s vision. With a full album on the horizon and a philosophy rooted in emotional storytelling, under:tones prove they’re not just making music—they’re creating portals.
