Hornet Debuts Swirling New Dream Pop Single “A Fantastic Day (Ahead of Us)”

In the heart of a quiet town, a girl finds solace in the gentle rhythm of her daily routine. Each day mirrors the last, offering a comforting predictability. The hum of familiar tasks—making tea, reading by the window, walking the same paths—becomes a soothing lullaby. In the monotony, she discovers a tranquil refuge, where the world’s chaos fades and her mind can rest. It is in these small, repeated moments that she finds a profound sense of peace and stability, cocooned in the serene embrace of her unchanging world.

This is the spirit behind the new track from HORNET, “a fantastic day (ahead of us),” the first song off her debut 5-song EP titled Feline, set to release on 26 July.

The playful and nostalgic track explores the quiet comfort a girl finds in monotony. Self-produced and recorded, the song swirls with a mischievous melancholy, driven by intricate percussion, a distorted bass guitar, and a child-like choir that echoes with both innocence and introspection. It captures the beauty and solace of finding peace in the familiar and the mundane.

Indiana Christian and Sonny Lawson created the single’s artwork, and Nina Hayes designed the spectacular-looking wings.

Listen to “a fantastic day (ahead of us),” below:

HORNET (Oh! Vered), hailing from New Jersey, has crafted a singular blend of dream pop and the raw edge of alternative music. Her sound, shaped by influences like Cocteau Twins, Sugarcubes, Frou Frou, and Nine Inch Nails and in the same vein as Viji, Suzy Clue, Sunken, Glixen, and Hatchie, is anchored by the bass guitar. Her basslines and ethereal vocal harmonies weave a haunting backdrop, while intricate, trip-hop-inspired rhythms lend a profound depth to her music.

a fantastic day (ahead of us) arrives at the heels of her acclaimed previous release, Silkworm, which appears on the Slow Dance ’23 compilation,out via the titularbelow.
