Plain Mister Smith returns with ‘Dream Gigantic’, released via Amelia and Symphonic Records, offering a first glimpse into his upcoming sophomore album, Bric-a-Brac Attack, due later this summer. Originally recognized as the guitarist for seminal darkwave band Moev, the Canadian artist also brings his classical sensibility as a cellist with the Vancouver Philharmonic Orchestra. As Plain Mister Smith, he has garnered critical acclaim from outlets such as NPR Music, Wonderland Magazine, CLASH Magazine, NOTION, Under The Radar, Earmilk, METAL, Noctis Mag, and Atwood Mag.
‘Dream Gigantic’ draws on Plain Mister Smith’s longstanding fascination with Paris, inspired by the city’s luminous calm in the wake of the Olympics. The single navigates themes of romantic possibility and longing, propelled by a kinetic acoustic drum groove, lush keyboard textures, and a bass line that drives the track forward. Findlay Brown’s Americana-folk vocals intertwine with the soulful, jazz-inflected R&B of JUNO Award-winner Krystle Dos Santos, creating a layered vocal interplay that deepens the narrative. The track is poised to connect with listeners who appreciate the melodic craftsmanship of The Beatles, Leisure, and Tame Impala.
Plain Mister Smith had this to say: “With ‘Dream Gigantic’ I tried to convey that sense of balmy exuberance that happens when it’s the height of summer, and whether you are in a bubbly Paris cafe or a park in Tokyo, the New York Subway or anywhere really, you’re having the time of your life with someone you love.”
