Oberhofer is putting his third album Smothered out into the world on November 12. Today, he’s shared the fourth single from the guest-heavy project, which was most recently preceded by the track “SUNSHiiNE” that featured The Strokes’ Nick Valensi and Shamir. It’s called “Dreaming of U,” and it features King Princess.
“It’s about a time I was dreaming about a person, only to later find out they had been dreaming about me at the same time,” Oberhofer said of the track. “With the ‘Dreaming Of U’ video, we tried to capture the experience of interacting with someone in a realistic dreamscape: an empty void. I also had fun practicing the keyboard solo while pretending to be asleep. We spent a lot of time playing with lighting to evoke the kind of ethereally haloed silhouettes that appear in my dreams. Collaborating with director Quincy Banks was the right fit because I’ve always admired his sense of space and his taste in ’70s and ’80s aesthetics.”
Watch the video for “Dreaming of U” below.
