Kramies’ lead single from the forthcoming new album Goodbye Dreampop Troubadour (out October 10, 2025) “Hollywood Signs” emerges as almost a musical avatar of the historic times we’re living through. Produced by David Bowie producer/engineer Mario J. McNulty, the song has a measured pace, sheets of spectral background harmonics and the songwriter’s voice relating a portrait of a relationship that has long since fallen out but where the connections linger. The lightly psychedelic choruses are reminiscent of something a gentle mashup of Sgt. Pepper’s and Days of Future Passed. Along with that an orchestral sensibility in the way the song is structured. The song sounds both deeply haunted and as though the feelings it conveys sustain an immediacy that keeps you engaged throughout. It’s the kind of song you can and want to lean back into for the trip through its melancholic spaces to its conclusion being left on the side of a pastoral roadside with the last of the warm mornings coming on before the full swing of fall in a state of rest—emotionally, physically and spiritually. It’s a perfect song for this season. Watch the beautiful lyric video with its lo-fi animation on YouTube and follow Kramies at the links below.
