Dream Colors, the Minneapolis-based indie rock band, have just released their latest single, Autumn Song, marking a notable shift in their sonic palette as they gear up for the release of their new album, Circles the Sun, due out November 7. This fresh track showcases Dream Colors embracing a fuzzier, grungier rock aesthetic, with scratchy guitar strums and drums that evoke a cozy autumn mood. Unlike the band's earlier work, particularly their debut EP Easy Go, which leaned towards calmer and crisper indie pop textures, Autumn Song finds Dream Colors frontman Rhys Finnegan leading the group into murkier, more textured territory.

Fronted by Rhys Finnegan, who is also known for his work with Midwest-emo-shoegaze project Malamiko, Dream Colors have become a staple in the Minneapolis indie scene for their melodic songwriting and blend of dreamy and gritty elements. Autumn Song is the first taste of Circles the Sun, and it hints at a broader sonic evolution for Dream Colors, with vocals intentionally buried in the mix to create a sense of warmth and nostalgia. The band’s approach on this single departs from the polished indie pop of their previous releases, signaling that Dream Colors are unafraid to experiment with new textures and emotional depths.

With Circles the Sun set for release on November 7, anticipation is building among fans eager to hear how the rest of the album will expand on the direction introduced by Autumn Song. Dream Colors’ latest moves place them firmly in the lineage of indie rock bands willing to reinvent themselves while staying rooted in heartfelt storytelling and evocative melodies. As the Minneapolis music community takes notice, Dream Colors look poised to make autumn 2025 their own with a sound that’s both familiar and refreshingly bold.
