“Dreams” is the first single from Taken by Trees’ forthcoming album, Other Worlds, out October 2nd on Secretly Canadian. The video was just released and it is equally as beautiful and soothing as the song itself. Having been a fan of Victoria Bergsman since Concretes days, I always like to hear more upbeat Taken by Trees songs. “Dreams” perfectly fuses Bergsman’s pop tendencies with the newer ambient approach of Taken by Trees. Visually, Bergsman acts as our tour guide, walking us through the beautiful wonders of the Hawaiian landscape. The diverse mountains, oceans, volcanic rock, dense forests, sprawling fields, and lush vegetation are simply stunning. Other Worlds is said to be a conceptual album of sorts, celebrating the Hawaiian islands. I say, take us to whatever world you want, Ms. Bergsman, as long as it keeps sounding like this.
