The Dream Eaters return with new single ‘Program Me, I’m a Machine’

Brooklyn’s dream-pop duo The Dream Eaters are back with a mesmerizing new single, Program Me, I’m a Machine—a synth-heavy, hypnotic ride that blends robotic detachment with eerie human emotion. Drenched in retro-futurism and deadpan humour, the track wrestles with the fine line between devotion and submission, posing the question: Is true autonomy even possible in a world obsessed with control?

Program Me, I’m a Machine is the latest offering from their upcoming EP, ‘The Dream Eaters Quarterly Report: Q125,’ landing April 18, 2025. With pulsating beats, shimmering synths, and Elizabeth LeBaron’s spellbinding vocals, the song feels like a nostalgic glitch in the matrix—both vintage and futuristic at once. Its mechanical delivery masks something deeper, like an AI designed for compliance but secretly dreaming of something more.

The music video, filmed at Green Lung Studios in Red Hook, Brooklyn, brings this vision to life with trippy visuals and offbeat choreography. “Our drummer/dancer, Steve Fugitt, was in rare form that day—then again, when isn’t he?” says LeBaron. “I even threw in a few stiff robot moves myself. We were just feeling the song and having a blast.”

Beyond the infectious hooks and sci-fi aesthetic, Program Me, I’m a Machine taps into something darker. “It feels like it exists in the past, the future, and the present all at once,” LeBaron reflects. “Almost like the desire to control women’s bodies is… timeless?”
