While vocalist Isa Holliday's voice is angelic as it gets, the band has a harsher edge to their sound, driven by biting guitars, allowing her vocals to dip and weave through the elements. These are well heard in 'Thirst' and 'Cherry', where as 'While you dream vividly' does take a step back into the dreamier space. Slow Crush is as close to floating in water under the warm sun as you can get. 'While you Dream Vividly' is meant to be an ethereal journey, with the band stating
“We wanted to capture the sensation of being tethered to someone yet drifting weightlessly, lost in the surreal beauty of the moment,”

That's what we hear a lot from people who come to see us live, or people who've listened to our previous albums, is that we take them to another dimension. I think that's something that we miss in this day and age ..." "just be in the moment as much as you should. We want to let people take a moment for themselves and let the music take them wherever they would like to go."
