Dream Prescription is a band demanding attention. Led by vocalist/guitarist/songwriter Tim Robert, bassist/vocalist David Leatherwood, drummer Adam Fischel, and keyboardist/vocalist Brittany Anjou, they’ve made waves since their 2020 debut. They’re set to end the year strong with their latest release, “Settle Down.”
The track is a dashing indie rock song that stands out. It opens with an electrifying intro, featuring high-octane guitars, distorted keyboards, and Robert’s powerful vocals immediately grabbing the listener’s attention. Lyrically, the song delves into intriguing narratives, as exemplified by verses like, “All I hear is empty sound / When the sirens call to me / Whispering sweetly / Telling me come round.”
David Leatherwood’s bass lines add rich depth and groove, perfectly complementing the energetic guitar riffs. Adam Fischel’s dynamic drumming provides a powerful backbone, driving the song forward with precision. Meanwhile, Brittany Anjou’s distorted keyboard textures create an atmospheric layer, enhancing the song’s unique rock/electronic fusion. The band’s distinctive blend of synth-pop and post-punk is on full display, and their seamless transition from live performance to studio recording is truly impressive.
Robert reflects on the creative process behind “Settle Down”: “Sometimes I wonder if I’m crazy to play in a rock band, being older than the typical aspiring front person. The initial inspiration for ‘Settle Down’ was me rebelling against that kind of doubt, but it’s more than that. I think the idea of settling down means something different for everyone. Maybe it’s living a dull, quiet life or taming energetic passion, but regardless, I think it’s better to be a little crazy with passion than to be calm and lacking conviction.“
“Settle Down” is a fantastic addition to Dream Prescription’s discography. Music enthusiasts who appreciate innovative sounds and introspective lyrics will find it to be an exhilarating experience. Fans can anticipate more groundbreaking music that challenges conventions and explores new musical landscapes. With their boundless talent and unique sound, Dream Prescription shows no signs of slowing down.
