#MusicPH - We Are Imaginary Gets Raw and Reflective in New Single “Stockholm”


There’s something hauntingly beautiful about a song that captures the quiet chaos of emotional entanglement—and Filipino indie rock band We Are Imaginary has done just that with their latest single, “Stockholm.”


Released ahead of their upcoming self-titled album (set to drop on vinyl via Eikon Records later this year), “Stockholm” dives deep into the murky waters of toxic relationships, where love and pain blur into something strangely familiar.

A Soundtrack for the Emotionally Entangled

Opening with the Nietzsche-inspired line, “Staring at the abyss / staring back at me,” the track immediately sets a tone of introspection. It’s a slow unraveling of someone caught in a loop—lost, yet oddly comforted by the very thing that’s pulling them down. Lyrics like “So used with bad directions / I’m following no leads” echo the feeling of being stuck in a cycle, unsure whether to fight or surrender.

But just when it feels like the spiral might never end, the song offers a flicker of light: “Then I hear my name / From the other line / And it don’t make sense / But everything turned right.” It’s that moment of distorted hope that anyone who’s ever been in a toxic relationship knows all too well.

A Grittier Kind of Nostalgia

Frontman Ahmad Tanji describes the track as a personal reflection, born from a period of emotional turmoil. Drawing inspiration from early 2000s indie rock and pop, he channels the rawness of that era into something deeply personal yet universally relatable. Think Garden State vibes—but with more grit and less gloss.

The production, shaped in collaboration with Joey Santos and sound engineer Angee Rozul, balances weight and warmth. A standout decision? Bringing the acoustic guitar to the forefront, giving the track an expansive yet intimate feel that lingers long after the final note.

“Stockholm” by We Are Imaginary is now streaming on all major digital platforms. Whether you're healing, hurting, or just in need of a song that understands the in-between, this one’s worth a listen.
