Video Of The Day DREAMCOASTER
Started in 2019 as Dreams Of Empire, the Sussex-based British DIY jangly Noise-Pop duo, made up of multi-instrumentalist, composer and producer Andrew Craig and his life partner and vocalist Jane, foretaste a forthcoming, maybe 2027 release, of their fourth studio album with a homespun video for their third and final single of 2026, “I Saw a Butterfly, inspired by a chance encounter with a butterfly at the start of the year.
The duo deftly balance stirring guitar-driven melancholy and dizzy, sweeping vocal tones, a signature of their finest atmospheric and expansive Indie Pop.
When light and shade collide, a butterfly appears, bringing color and curiosity to a persistent warm flow of uplifting vibrations…
Urgently lifted by vibrant drum beats along with a low, churning bassline, the song swirls into an enveloping nostalgic haze, sculpted by shivering, effect-filled, resonant guitar melodies that sparkle and ring out, with cool liquid ripples, to cradle vibrant, inviting female vocals, gracefully gliding with thin layers of male backups, gaining range with every breath of support.
An accompanying video shows singer Jane and guitarist Andrew trapped in an 80s daytime soap opera.
Reminiscent of an 80s sitcom, the nostalgic visuals underline the opening credits introducing Jane and Andrew in the starring roles. A special guest arrives in the form of an obscuring black fog that momentarily shuts down the transmission. The intro resumes with a list of stylists, designers, editors and producers who were involved in the making of the “I Saw a Butterfly” clip.
