AWAKE & DREAMING – “ANTIDOTE”
A SPILL EXCLUSIVE MUSIC PREMIERE
Awake & Dreaming have the sound and ambition of a generational alt-rock band. Blending classical piano with arena-scale guitars, electronic atmospheres, and glam-rock theatrics, they’ve built a sound that pairs dystopian urgency with blockbuster spectacle. Their music has evolved from the haunting minimalism of Old Ghosts to the raw fire of I U Me and the anthemic drive of Something To Believe In, always staying unmistakably Awake & Dreaming. Known for live shows with synchronized lighting, the four-piece mix elegance with grit, embracing both the epic and the deeply personal.
ARTIST QUOTE
‘Antidote’ lives in that space where desire and danger are the same thing. You’re drawn to someone who might destroy you, and you go toward them anyway. Not because you don’t know the risk, but because the pull is stronger than self-preservation. We wanted the music to feel like that: seductive at first, then the walls of sound close in. The mask in the visuals removes identity from the equation – you can’t tell who’s hunting whom.
