Our recurring new music feature Origins gives artists the platform to share their personal insights into their latest release. Today, Oberhofer reveals his new single “Dreaming of U,” which features contributions from King Princess.
Brad Oberhofer is set to make his return after nearly six years away with his new album, Smothered — and he’s not alone.
Co-produced by Jonathan Rado (The Lemon Twigs, Weyes Blood) alongside Oberhofer himself, the project features a number of guests: Shamir and The Strokes’ Nick Valensi feature on the most recent single, “SUNSHiiNE;” “All I Want” features Teddy Geiger; Jónsi sings on “All I Want;” and Girlpool appear on “Miss Yr Face.” Today, we’re getting another taste of the LP’s collaborative nature with the new King Princess-assisted single “Dreaming of U.”
The track is more of a duet than simply “featuring King Princess,” with Mikaela Straus’ presence as much a part of the song’s mood as any of the instrumentation. Her vocals interlace with Oberhofer’s in a nostalgic haze, like a fading radio incorporating itself into your hypnagogic thoughts. Or, as the song itself suggests, like two people dreaming about each other from separate beds.
“Dreaming of U” comes via a video starring Oberhofer and King Princess, and you can watch it below. Then, read on to check out Oberhofer’s Origins of the single.

Exploding Head Syndrome is a condition that happens during your sleep. The most common symptom is hearing a loud noise as you fall asleep or wake up. I wrote this song around 4:00 a.m. as I was falling asleep and wanted to create a cacophony of pleasant sounds I might hear while on the verge of slumber.
Oneironautics:
The concept of being able to travel via dream and interact with the dreams of another person. The lyrical concept of this song was derived from a time I dreamt about someone three times one week, and when I told them, found out they had dreamt of me too.

My Aunt gave me a satchel of pine leaves that filled my room with this scent of pine that I can vividly recall inhaling while I was recording the first demo of “Dreaming of U.”
“Bachelor Kisses” by The Go-Betweens:
I love this song, its video, and its dreamlike atmosphere. This was the first place I went in my head when I thought of ideas for this video.
