Okay, okay, okay. Dream rock. Two sisters. A history steeped in religious control and personal upheaval. And now they’re screaming back at the void with something that sounds like a séance happening inside an abandoned roller rink. Yeah, we’re doing this.

‘You Again’ by Hail Your Highness — a duo made up of Jessie and Niki Bobenmoyer from Traverse City, Michigan — is a dense, cathartic, and emotionally volatile track that oozes exorcism energy. The “we’ve finally torn the chains off our backs and turned them into a goddamn guitar riff” kind. This thing starts in pure dream-state — washed-out pads, a slow swirl of delay and reverb that would make Julee Cruise nod in approval. But just when you’re leaning back into that Twin Peaks haze? Boom — it kicks. Guitars start punching through the fog. The chorus doesn’t knock, it barges in.

Niki’s and Jessie’s vocals are soaked in reverb but cut right through — it’s the kind of delivery that balances between melody and a lowkey scream-from-the-chest, like someone who’s had enough. There’s a punk-pop skeleton under this dream-rock skin, and it’s got sharp elbows. Paramore in a fever dream.

Lyrically, the song doesn’t pull punches. We’re talking post-indoctrination, post-deconstruction, post-“holy shit, what do we even believe anymore?” existential rubble. And from that rubble? This track claws its way out.

And yeah, while the whole dream rock genre isn’t exactly crawling with weekly releases, this thing deserves its own corner of the altar. It checks every box: memorable chorus, layered textures, emotional teeth, and a story that feels lived, not manufactured. You don’t come out the other side of that kind of religious trauma and accidentally write a song like this. You bleed it into a DAW.

It’s moody. It’s heavy. It’s pissed off in a very elegant way. Could use a bit more bite in the mix maybe, but this thing rips. Keep an eye on these sisters. Or don’t — but they’re going to haunt your playlist anyway.
