For a warm and melodic rock release, we turned to Keyton’s ‘Lucid Dream’, and it’s been on repeat ever since it first reached us.
‘Lucid Dream’ balances emotional weight with an undeniable sense of momentum. It’s instantly familiar yet never feels predictable, instead it’s a lovingly reimagined sound for the younger generation. A catchy stomp through post-hardcore territory, ‘Lucid Dream’ thrives on contrast. Clean vocals rest between heavy, driving guitar riffs and double kick drums that propel the track forward. Subtle synth layers seep through the mix, adding texture and atmosphere without dulling its raw edge. It’s polished, without being overproduced.
Hailing from North Alabama, indie artist Keyton channels the melodic rock spirit of 2000’s emo, drawing from a palette that spans bittersweet acoustic introspection to fully energetic rock. ‘Lucid Dream’ captures that range perfectly, feeling both introspective and explosive. It’s the kind of track that hits hardest late at night, headphones on, when memory and melody blur into something beautifully escapist.
