Canadian electronic project Delerium, led by Front Line Assembly founders Bill Leeb and Rhys Fulber, have partnered with Los Angeles-based dreamwave duo Magic Wands for the release of their collaborative single, “Dream Palace.” The track is accompanied by an official music video and serves as the second advance preview of Delerium’s forthcoming 16th studio album, Exaudire, scheduled for release on January 22, 2027, via Metropolis Records.
Collaborative Production and Visuals
“Dream Palace” follows the release of lead single “Into The Light,” which featured avant-garde vocalist Diamanda Galás. The production on the new track was handled by Leeb and Fulber, with long-time collaborator Greg Reely managing mixing and mastering duties. Magic Wands contributed performance and composition elements, featuring guitar work from Chris Valentine and lyrics and vocal melodies performed by Dexy Valentine.
The accompanying music video stars Soraya Rose Southwick and was produced, filmed, and directed by Shahrnaz Nancy Southwick in collaboration with Magic Wands. Production design was overseen by Bradley Preston Southwick, with lighting designed by Chris Valentine and post-production color grading completed by Dexy Valentine. The narrative concept depicts a protagonist discovering a parallel dimension contained within a wooden box.
