Dreamcatcher (27/09/18)

Ladies and gentlemen!

Dreamcatcher is a k-pop band I have only discovered very recently. The group was originally called MINX and featured five members. It changed its name to Dreamcatcher one and a half years ago and evolved into a septet. The band has released four extended plays so far, including this year's Escape the Era and the brand new Alone in the City which was released precisely one week ago.

What I like about the band is that it differs from other k-pop bands that use hip hop and rhythm and blues elements. Dreamcatcher rather incorporates rock elements, varying from hard rock over commercial punk rock to mellow heavy metal. The band still uses electronic pop elements though and also incorporates brief rap elements. This makes for a quite unusual mixture.

Stylistically, the band isn't too different from other k-pop bands, with all seven members wearing the same type of clothes in most of their music videos and performing almost robotic dance choreographies. However, the seven members all have great vocals and the musical style is distinctive enough to be noteworthy. Give them a chance.
