Dem Atlas drops ‘Forlourn’, a mind-bending preview of his upcoming album, FANTASY PKWY. This track is a genre-defying beast, a wild collision of rock and hip-hop that the artist boldly christens “dream hop.” And it’s a fitting moniker.
‘Forlourn’ is a dreamlike escape, a hazy, introspective journey that feels both intimate and expansive. Atlas’ vocals are a captivating blend of raw emotion and confident swagger. He weaves a tapestry of lyrics that explore the yearning for something more, painting vivid pictures of a world beyond our reach. The production is a masterclass in atmosphere, with swirling guitars and hypnotic beats creating a soundscape that’s as intoxicating as it is thought-provoking.
As Dem Atlas relays about his track: “I spent 3 years suspended in reality, turning inward cultivating a new sound combining elements of Shoegaze & Hip-Hop to create my own little world to get lost in. If you’ve ever visited that terrifying and wondrous place alone at the crux of life & death wondering to yourself if you’re awake or still asleep, this might resonate with you.”
This is an invitation to lose yourself in a sonic wonderland. Dem Atlas is a visionary artist, pushing the boundaries of what music can be. If you’re ready to ditch the mundane and embrace the extraordinary, ‘Forlourn’ is your passport to a new dimension.
