"on the debut mini album of indigo chamber, a tension reigns between the urge for escapism and pressing wake-up calls from the real world, which seems to grow more imminent and frightening every day.
while indigo chamber finds their retreat in writing compact, ethereal dreampop songs with hypnotic hooks, the crystalline organs, oceanic synths, waltzy drum machines and languid falsetto vocals don’t seem to disturb the idyllic daydream.
fragments of nostalgic memories and melancholic sentiments pass by in hazy, dissociative shreds, like familiar feelings popping up out of nowhere, disappearing just as fast as they came.
even the cynical, pessimistic lyrics don’t seem to disturb the peace, even if they sting for just a while.
but from under the perfect surface a threat looms, a slowly but surely creeping feeling of increasing unrest and dissatisfaction starting to leak through, and the ever so safe glass bubble is slowly starting to crack…"
