The motorik beat driving Dream Bodies’ “Eclipse” is hypnotic even before the ethereal, Chameleons-esque guitar work comes in to shimmer with introspective melodies. It seems to be a tale of someone transforming in ways he doesn’t fully understand and absorbing influences from the natural world and the cosmos as he travels toward a mysterious fate with references to oblique occult initiation experiences and/or pagan mystery rituals like the Eleusinian Mysteries and attaining a connection to the world that expands one’s consciousness. But all set to beautifully spectral tones and in moments reminiscent of Giorgio Moroder’s soundtrack work for Midnight Express had he reworked that with the help of Red Lorry Yellow Lorry. The tonal shimmer in the synths alongside robust low end and commanding vocals in the song make it a standout from the increasingly standardized modern post-punk and darkwave milieu.
