The Ultimate Dreamers - Paradoxical Sleep / Limited Solid Red Edition

Music style: post punk / cold wave / new wave

Limited Edition of strictly 150 copies ONLY on solid RED Vinyl

After the triumphant comeback of “Echoing Reverie” in 2023 and an electrifying tour across Europe, the Belgian quartet is back with an album of entirely new material, that reaffirms their place in the heart of the alternative scene.

With the brooding single “Digging” and the irresistible “Spiritchaser” paving the way, the album finds The Ultimate Dreamers at the peak of their artistry. It’s a perfect fusion of haunting introspection and pulsating dark pop, evoking the timeless moods of The Cure, Joy Division, alongside the energizing pulse of New Order, Depeche Mode or even Trisomie 21.

This album presents a rich sonic palette made of subliminal melodies, captivating rhythms, and intense, thought-provoking lyrics that masterfully blend post-punk, new wave, and dark-wave. Exploring themes of raw human emotions, surreal magic, and melancholic nostalgia, The Ultimate Dreamers bring a modern touch to classic post-punk tainted with cold wave and gothic influences.

Produced by Len Lemeire (known for his work with IMPLANT, 32CRASH, ANNE CLARK), “Paradoxical Sleep” features special guest vocals from Simona Ferrucci of WINTER SEVERITY INDEX on “Into the Fog” and June Dune of DEAD CRUSH on “The Knife.” And cherry on the cake, the addition of Sandrine’s cello on selected tracks deepens the album’s haunting, melodic atmosphere. Let THE ULTIMATE DREAMERS lead you into the misty depths of the paradoxical labyrinth we call “life” - an essential sonic journey for all dark souls out there…
