Brooklyn-based electro-rock band VHS Collection recently released their infectious new single “Dreaming”. The band set up a rented AirBNB for three weeks in Los Angeles, during which time they wrote the track, a euphoric anthem about conquering self-doubt. “Dreaming” is the band’s first single since the release of their album Retrofuturism, which was released in November of last year and touches on the themes of isolation, love, escapism, and patriotic skepticism. “The song does feel in some ways an extension of Retrofuturism,” VHS Collection shares. Formed in 2015 and comprised of Conor Cook, James Bohannon and Nils Vanderlip, the band has garnered over 50 million streams on Spotify and have songs licensed for several television shows. They have performed at Lollapalooza, Governors Ball, Austin City Limits and Bunbury Festival and have supported artists such as Powers and Bloc Party.
