Melodic guitar twangs and spacey synths meld wonderfully on “Dreamcast,” a song by Heddy Edwards described as “about the pursuit of self-improvement amid mental health setbacks.” Jangling guitars and personal lyrical depictions, of a panic attack that puts one right back in bed, stir with a magnetic melodic pull — arriving into an anthemic “nothing that fills the void” bridge, and subsequently gorgeous chorus as Edwards’ vocals lament: “I’m tired of breaking plans, breaking down.”
From its initial momentum to a bursting chorus and satisfying dance-forward outro, “Dreamcast” is another gem from Heddy Edwards, who caught our ears recently as well with the track “The other side of town.”
