They are Monsdim (vocal & guitar), Jale (guitar), Janji (bass) and Graham (drum). The band was formed in Bandung, Indonesia, in the early of 2018 and was firstly intended to be a bedroom jam outlet. Nevertheless, they decided to collaboratively make songs seriously later on.
In April 2018, their first singles pack release with PVL Records featuring Mokase and It's -27° has hit the internet radar successfully and has been featured by many notable internet music tastemakers.
They quickly became one of the most unique act in terms of its fluid and really enjoyable musicality in their hometown bound, not to forget the very brightful persona they make. The single Copper also brought them strong fanbases from around the world, notably in Latin America and South East Asia in a surprising manner. The next single Grey is also a continuous high-noter for beloved fans and themselves.
Late 2018, they started to play outside their bedroom onto many local gigs as well as big stages. They also made their quick milestone on Lokatarafest '18 and We the Fest '19.

Dream Coterie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Those tiny marigolds your ashes fell still alright
Your body looks so weary so I let you unwind
I gotta turn the light off so you don't feel too bright
So let us lit the mary
(A a a a)
To make us feel so easy
We'll be as light as feather
(We'll be alright)
Let′s live this way forever
(Beneath the sky high)
Cause I want it all
I bet it′s not so right
(But i want it all)
Stu tu tu tu
I want it all
There's nothing left to hide
(I want it all)
So let us lit the mary
(A a a a)
To make us feel so easy
(We′ll be so high)
We'll be as light as feather
(We′ll be alright)
Let's live this way forever
(Beneath the sky high)
Cause I want it all
I bet it′s not so right
(But i want it all)
Stu tu tu tu
I want it all
There's nothing left to hide
(I want it all)
I want it all
I bet it's not so right
(But i want it all)
Stu tu tu tu
I want it all
There′s nothing left to hide
(I want it all)
Grey by Dream Coterie is a song that appears to be about finding comfort and escape in drugs, specifically marijuana. The opening lines, "You call me without greetings but you know it's so fine, Those tiny marigolds your ashes fell still alright," suggest that the singer is receiving a call about smoking marijuana and that they believe it will make them "feel so easy" and "be as light as feather." The singer wants to live this way "forever" because they "want it all" despite acknowledging that it may not be "so right." The repetition of "Stu tu tu tu" at the end of each chorus adds to the dreamlike quality of the song and could be interpreted as a reference to the alteration of consciousness that drugs provide.
The second verse, "Your body looks so weary so I let you unwind, I gotta turn the light off so you don't feel too bright," seems to be addressing someone who is physically tired and in need of relaxation. The singer provides comfort by turning off the lights to make the environment more conducive to relaxation. They then suggest smoking marijuana to further aid in the process.
Overall, the song seems to be about using drugs as a means of escape from reality and finding temporary comfort in a dreamlike state. The lyrics suggest a desire to live in this state forever despite acknowledging that it may not be the right choice.
