Before diving into the mysterious, quirky and evocative artistic universe built up by STREAMER, we should mention that the British outfit is highly original and unique. Defining their genre as ‘indie trance’, they explain: “Think Underworld, Faithless & Chemical Brothers meets Coldplay & Pink Floyd!”. That’s a bold statement – luckily for them, they have the firepower to back it up. ‘Time Flies By’ is absolutely delightful, and truly interesting.
Introduced by dark textures and veiled cinematic energy, the record sees STREAMER’s vocals develop slowly and quietly, resembling an obscure mumbling that’s highly hypnotising and gloomy. Soon enough, ‘Time Flies By’ acquires fierceness and pumping trance-flavoured beats, while also displaying distorted guitar solos and chaotic energy. It’s here that we get a taste of STREAMER’s sonic formula. And it’s glorious.
Speaking about the inspiration behind the song, the group shares: “‘Time Flies By’ tells the story of a man and then a woman reflecting on how precious time is, and how they want to spend it. The sentiments chime with the modern day, post-pandemic, reflection that many people of all ages battle with.”
