After celebrating their 15th anniversary with the release of the fourth studio album Swan Songs for Drifters last year, We Are Imaginary continues to evolve as a dynamic indie rock duo.
Reinvigorated by a streamlined two-member lineup and bolstered by a fresh group of collaborators, We Are Imaginary returns with “Pinkish Hue,” their first single marking a new chapter in their musical journey.
This hypnotic guitar-pop track blends shoegaze and ’90s alt-rock influences, imbuing their sound with dramatic flair. “Pinkish Hue” explores the slow erosion of love once vibrant and full of promise, now fading — along with the memories it once held.
“I wrote the entire track,” Ahmad said. “It’s one of the leftovers from my previous project. When Khalid showed me an unfinished sketch with the same chord progression, it inspired me to present the song to the band. They immediately loved it.”
The song’s vibrant, layered sound owes much to a team of all-star collaborators who brought the track to life. Producer and mixer Joey Santos and recording engineer Angee Rozul steered the song’s sonic direction, while drummer Jerros Dolino contributed dynamics, enriching the song’s moody, theatrical atmosphere.
“Trust was there, fueled by lots of caffeine and mutual respect. They all were very much involved and open to whatever crazy ideas we had. It was just a smooth collaboration from the beginning,” Ahmad said.
