Leeds outfit Eades have been teasing us with a few tracks over the past number of months, all leading up to the release of their new EP Microcosmic Things, out July 10th on Bam Bam Records. The final single before the record drops is their new track ‘Vivid Dreams’. Taking the styles of post-punk and new wave, topping it off with a dash of indie, the tune is built on fizzing guitar strums, a heart-pumping bass line and singer Harry Jordan’s stern vocals. There is a Talking Heads vibe to the song, creating a bridge between the classic new wave/post-punk era of the late 70s and early 80s and the present.

Regarding the song, Eades’ Harry Jordan said:

“This is probably the longest we spent working on a song, and one of the earliest songs written for the band. It’s been through countless version and mixes but I just didn’t want to ditch it. I knew there was something there, particularly in reference to the detailed lyrics written with a close friend of mine. It started almost drum and bass like but after a lot of jamming I think we got it somewhere we’re proud of.”
