Oberhofer duets with King Princess on new single "Dreaming Of U"
Oberhofer has teamed up with King Princess for a new duet titled "Dreaming Of U", which arrives as the final preview of his first album in six years, Smothered, before it lands on Friday, 12 November.
"Dreaming Of U" is the fourth track to be lifted from Oberhofer's Smothered album, following earlier outings "SUNSHiiNE" with The Strokes' Nick Valensi and Shamir, "Let It Go" and "What Does It Mean To Me?".
The new song sees Oberhofer duet with King Princess, who also features in the Quincy Banks-directed video.
Brad Oberhofer says of the song and video, "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. 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 70's and 80's aesthetics."
Smothered, which will follow 2015's Chronovision, will feature collaborations with Teddy Geiger, as well as other contributions from Jónsi and Girlpool.
