Orange County’s own melodic metalcore quartet, Dayseeker, just launched a brand-new music video for their track “Dreamstate.” The song comes from their 2022 LP Dark Sun, which featured fellow singles “Without Me” and “Crying While You’re Dancing.”
The gray-hued, garage-themed music video follows a deeply personal struggle with grief for vocalist Rory Rodriguez. “Your soul departed, the sky turned blue/But when I’m sleeping, I talk with you,” he sings mournfully over equally bittersweet guitar rhythms. Check out the new video below.
“‘Dreamstate’ is about vivid dreams I had of my father after he passed,” shares Rodriguez. “There were truly times it felt as if we were communicating with one another, but I’d wake to reality and it would deeply affect my ability to cope.”
Beginning in April, Dayseeker is touring across the U.S. and will be joined by Polaris, Rain City Drive, Avoid, and Ayron Jones. Tickets for the tour are currently available for purchase here.
