What if Sisyphus, instead of pushing his rock uphill, stopped at a synth-driven rave at midnight? Tsunamiz’s latest release, “Dreamz”, feels like that—a break in the endless cycle of self-imposed chains, but with pulsating beats instead of boulders. You could almost hear the gods side-eyeing us as we dance through the deep core of ourselves.
The DIY ethos is all over this track, like paint on a punk’s jacket, but instead of rebellion, this one whispers—and shouts—about freedom, internal monologues revving up until they smack into self-discovery. There’s something profoundly human about synths pulsing like a heartbeat, riding on atmospheric waves of slightly mournful guitars. The kind that give you hope. If guitars could be therapists, these would certainly know a thing or two about emotional baggage.
Is it about breaking free? Well, sure, but it’s equally about acknowledging that sometimes the “chains are all you need.” Could be an uncomfortable truth—maybe we need limits sometimes, like how we need gravity to avoid floating off into space. Tsunamiz doesn’t offer tidy solutions, which is possibly exactly why the song resonates, refusing both ultimate victory or outright defeat.
This song dances on the razor-edge between dream-state and waking life, pushing shoveled metaphors aside. The line “dreams are all you need before you sleep” sticks like honey on your subconscious, though it’s not sweet—more like the kind of honey a bear would fight you for.
Music as introspection, set against electro-pop and post-punk sounds. It’s a strange dichotomy, but then again, aren’t we all a bit of split souls?
In the end, “Dreamz” doesn’t merely ask you to listen—it’s daring you to confront whatever keeps you sleeping.
