With their latest single, ‘Interlude – Hold On (Part 2)’ the UK indietronica breakthrough artist, STREAMER broke the sound barrier with a lyrical underpinning that is as affecting as the atmospheric alchemy that oscillates throughout the single – if Editors released this track, it would be their best work since An End Has a Start.
Through a similar sense of tender reflection that refracts through Paul Banks’ melancholic timbre, STREAMER occupies a sacred ground in the industry with their ability to go beyond painting by numbers to provoke your emotive impulses.
The evocative intensity builds with every minor key note which juxtaposes the dizzying waves of oscillating electronica, by the time you reach the trance-y outro that is seared with white-hot hyper-sonic motifs, you’ll be left enamoured by everything STREAMER stands for.
In Interlude – Hold On (Part 2), the three-piece outfit merges guitars, drums, and electronica to deliver a resounding plea for political restraint and peaceful solutions. As an extension of Interlude (Part 1)—a mostly instrumental introduction—this release reinforces its purpose: a fervent call to rein in war rhetoric and champion diplomacy.
STREAMER’s fans have already witnessed their non-stop, adrenaline-spiking shows, where their music, lauded by BBC Introducing, resonates across generations. Notably, everything is in place for 2025 to be STREAMER’s breakthrough year.
Interlude – Hold On (Part 2) was officially released on January 3rd; stream the single on all major platforms, including SoundCloud and Spotify.
