The 90s trip-hop-inspired “Unseen” is the latest single from Hyperlink Dream Sync, the electronic trio of Neil Scrivin, Eric Sferro and Juno-nominated Hayley Stewart.
The electronic group brings together their love for nostalgic sounds from video game scores and downtempo pop from the 90s-00s with Scrivin and Sferro on production and Stewart on vocals.
“Unseen” is an evolution of the song “Carrington Institute” from Hyperlink Dream Sync’s eponymous album, which was produced before Stewart’s arrival. “Eric (Sferro) got in touch about doing vocals for his and Neil’s project, and I immediately fell in love with their album,” Stewart said. “After recording a quick vocal idea for Carrington Institute, they invited me to join the band and we’ve been furiously writing music together ever since.”
“Unseen” conjures images of technology infrastructure hidden in the landscape, with high-frequency trading towers serving as one of the muses for Stewart’s lyrics. After all, the internet is a key element in HDS’s work - the band works remotely since Scrivin, Sferro and Stewart live in the UK, US, and Canada, respectively.
