Stockholm-based duo The Dorm have been totally gearing up since releasing their latest track, “Toxic Eyes,” last Friday, August 2nd, 2024. This new single is a game changer, especially since it comes with a memorable and visually appealing music video, which you can have a listen to below before we tell you more about what the duo are up to and the broader story behind the song.
The story behind “Toxic Eyes”
According to The Dome, the song unpacks the idea that dreams blind us to reality. They describe it as, “Dreams blind us to reality, poison our eyes, and lead us to desperately cling to illusions.” Pretty profound, don't you think? The duo, made up of Jonas Svensson and Linus Lente Johansson, are known for always pushing the boundaries in music, and this single is no exception.
Jonas and Lente have been making waves in the electronic music scene for a while now, with their unique sound fusing infectious rhythms with emotive melodies to create tracks that truly resonate. “Toxic Eyes” is a prime example of their unique style, combining danceable percussion and beats with emotive lyrics to deliver a powerful message.
Dome success stories so far
All of their previous releases, including their debut “Time Circus” and recent singles “Find Another Love” and “Don't Be Sad,” have been hits, proving their talent for combining complex soundscapes with compelling storytelling. Each track has strengthened their reputation as innovators in electronic music, and “Toxic Eyes” is set to continue that trend.
The music video for “Toxic Eyes” is one not to be missed. Known for their visually stunning videos, The Dorm have created another masterpiece that complements the theme of the track, while also providing a visual flourish that brings the song to life in an original way. Not many groups are making music videos these days, but I would hate to see it go out of style, so kudos to them for keeping this artistic medium alive.
“Toxic Eyes” was released on all major streaming platforms last week, and the music video is available to watch on YouTube (and, of course, at the top of this article). Whether you're a longtime fan of The Dorm or just recently discovered them, this is a release you'll want to check out.
