UAU is technically Dreamcatcher’s first sub-unit, however with the group’s unsure future after half of the members selected to not renew with their company, this mission might grow to be probably the most dependable Dreamcatcher content material for the foreseeable future. The group’s transformation from super-pop act MINX to J-rock impressed Dreamcatcher is well-known, and 2 Months sounds as if it might have been a MINX single in an alternate universe the place that transformation by no means occurred.
These hoping for one more rock monitor can be sorely disillusioned. These (like me) who hoped UAU would discover the group’s extra synthwave/techno sound may also discover themselves developing quick. As a substitute, 2 Months is a classy mix of tropical synths and Afrobeats percussion. It’s not like something Dreamcatcher ever recorded, which is ok. It’s additionally not that nice.
A large swath of the Ok-pop business is mired in a “much less is extra” strategy, skimping on size, melody and total effort in track composition. You’ll be able to often get away with considered one of these cardinal sins. For instance, a brief size doesn’t matter if the track exerts itself and delivers killer hooks. However all three collectively is a lethal combo, and 2 Months falls into this triple entice. It’s extremely quick, very repetitive and hinges on a spoken-word hook and squeaky instrumental loop that does the ladies no favors. They get bonus factors for sounding like summer time, however total it is a disappointing unit debut.
