Good Day Noir Family, Dream of a Man in a Top Hat is back with a song that kicks off right away with a hypnotic rhythmic cadence that makes you want to dance.
Like a Fire Engine is Dream of a Man in a Top Hat’s Single
While listening to Like a Fire Engine I saw reality dissolve in front of me.
Like when you drink a little too much and your perspective gets distorted, your senses are amplified and you live in a parallel universe.
This song manages to stimulate the synapse and makes you feel like you are in a kaleidoscope.
Dream of a Man in a Top Hat had already proved their originality in the past and with this song they reconfirm their unique way of composing songs.
The sound is edgy and vintage, the guitar riffs are convincing and the arrangements solid.
A song that creates a very special atmosphere that I recommend everyone to go and listen to.
It’s a nice journey into a psychedelic sound world.

Like a Fire Engine is Dream of a Man in a Top Hat’s Single
Two thirds of Boston 80’s post-punk band Native Tongue, Lee Leffler (guitars, keyboards, vocals, lyrics) and Michael Frackleton (drums, bass, percussion, keyboards, vocals, lyrics) comprise the duo Dream of a Man in a Top Hat. And though years have passed since they first played together one thing hasn’t changed – the same uncompromising sensibility can be found in the sounds that come out of these two. As music blogger mp3 hugger so aptly put it: “they have conspired to go about things in the only way they see possible and that means the rest of us have to shape up or ship out.”
In writing about their debut record, the 6 song EP Blunt Instrumentals (released summer of 2020), bloggers and curators described their music as: cool, grooving, swaggering, psychedelic, experimental, wild, infectious, seductive, chaotic and unique. In the summer of 2021 Dream of a Man in a Top Hat expanded beyond instrumentals and added their own unique vocals to a new full-length album, Sudden Return Of DOAMIATH, startling and pleasing critics, bloggers and playlisters alike. Divide and Conquer music magazine concluded their review with: “Fans of psychedelic music will have a leg up, but this stuff goes far beyond anything I’ve heard in that genre. This is a wild and unique album… an unpolished classic along the lines of Beefheart’s Trout Mask Replica or Music To Eat by the Hampton Grease Band.” The duo are now releasing a series of singles. The latest, Eggshell Minefield, is out on 8/05.
