Sneakpeek Taps Into Psychadelic Vibes On New Single

L.A.-based duo Sneakpeek is back in action with a trippy new single called "Dreams That You Discarded".

Sneakpeek's Dora Hiller and Aric Bohn worked with talented cinematographer Arlene Muller and director Paige Stark. While legendary artist Ken Jenkins adds impressive multicolor and lumia visuals. When asked about the meaning of the song Hiller had this to say. "...it's about recognizing that it’s never too late to reignite dreams that we have forgotten. When we hypnotize ourselves into a state where we can trust that everything is happening e...
