Pressyes Delivers a Dreamy Summer Soundtrack with ‘Sundrops!’
Pressyes, the moniker of Vienna-based producer René Mühlberger, has unveiled his third studio album, Sundrops!, a radiant collection that encapsulates the essence of summer through a blend of psychedelic pop and indie rock. Released on May 30, 2025, via his Bandcamp page, the album is a testament to Mühlberger’s evolution as an artist, showcasing his ability to craft immersive soundscapes that are both nostalgic and forward-thinking.
The album opens with “Heaven on Earth,” setting a euphoric tone that carries through tracks like “Waves of Joy” and “The Sunlighttt.” These songs are characterized by shimmering synths, groovy basslines, and layered vocals that evoke a sense of carefree bliss. “Blue Datsun” and “Summer is Gone” offer a more introspective take, blending melancholic melodies with lush instrumentation, reflecting on the fleeting nature of time and memories.
One of the standout tracks, “Radio 5,” features a collaboration with Nature Swim, adding a dreamy, lo-fi texture that complements the album’s overall aesthetic. The instrumental “Meditation Pt. III” serves as a contemplative interlude, allowing listeners to pause and absorb the album’s emotional depth.
Throughout Sundrops!, Mühlberger demonstrates a keen sense of production, utilizing analog synthesizers and vintage equipment to create a warm, organic sound. This approach lends authenticity to the album, distinguishing it from the often overproduced landscape of contemporary pop music.
Sundrops! is a sonic journey that captures the duality of summer—its exuberant highs and reflective lows. Mühlberger’s ability to weave intricate melodies with heartfelt lyrics results in an album that resonates with listeners seeking both escapism and connection. It’s a record that invites repeated listens, each time revealing new layers and nuances, solidifying Pressyes’s place in the modern indie music scene. We are IN LOVE with Sundrops! And hope you will appreciate this as much as we do. Check it out below:
