Australian singer/songwriter Bill Bingley enamors on the new track “Halogen Dreams,” expanding from his previous acoustic-forward sound into a glowing psychedelic pop presentation. Warming guitar strums and bright, spacey synths intertwine amidst Bingley’s calming vocal composure, emitting lyrics that “describe a teenaged night out in the city, with the bright lights trying to block out the seedy reality hidden in the shadows.”
A soaring guitar presence stirs past the two-minute turn, as heavier percussion and the glitzy synths fade into an acoustical underlying. “Halogen Dreams” is a dynamic, melodic success that emphasizes the strong songwriting of Bill Bingley, who previously played in bands such as Hey Geronimo, The Worriers, and Papperbok.
