The Parade’s Downtempo Pop Debut Single “I’m a Dreamer” is a Gorgeously Languid Song About Casual Summertime Romance

“I’m a Dreamer” is the debut single by dream pop band The Parade from Stockholm, Sweden. Its introspective melodies and gentle rhythms and melodious vocals are reminiscent of Saint Etienne and in moments the keyboard work like something you’d expect out of an early 90s downtempo group but a production style more like club music you’d hope to hear these days. Given the music video and footage like a raiding of thrift stores for VHS tapes and repurposing and editing them to give a deep sense of late summer, night time revelry. And this song is seemingly about a casual, summertime romance that might turn into something more but doesn’t have to evolve beyond something mutually entered into for the good times for now.
