Meaning βdreamβ in ancient Norse, Draumr stands out as the solo project of the french musician, producer and director Gabriel Cheurfa.
Through spell-binding visuals, and a very distinct sound blending dream pop, downtempo, glo-fi and chillwave, the multifaceted artist draws on memories, real or distorted, to build a bridge over emptiness - a junction of dreams and trailing echoes of the past.
After the array of pastels and colors of his first two unclassifiable EPs Nefelibata (2015), Ethereal Mildness (2018) (mixed by the legendary French Touch producer StΓ©phane βAlfβ Briat), Draumr releases his debut album Drawn-Out Daydream (2020), taking us on an unusual yet intimate and authentic journey. It invites us in its composite universe, grounding us in the present, creating a delicate and dreamlike state. Through its soft synthetic layers on Sage Green Eyes, its ethereal choirs and its warm rhythms on the epic and soothing Solace In Loneliness or the uplifting sophisti-pop duos on the songs Sunlight Tryst and Another Heart, the artist rouses our spirits, suspends time, and frees us for a moment, from the weight of modernity.
On his new album Somewhere Stellar, Draumr takes us on a voyage that emanates the warmth and stillness of an evanescent carefree summer. A solar avant-pop odyssey about peace of mind, love, and understanding, guaranteed to touch the hearts of all who experience it.
