Brooklyn-based dream pop duo The Dream Eaters return with their latest single, “Program Me, I’m A Machine,” a synth-driven, hypnotic track that blends robotic detachment with eerie human emotion. Channeling elements of retro-futurism and deadpan humor, the song explores the blurred line between devotion and submission—asking whether true autonomy is ever possible in a world obsessed with control. “Program Me, I’m A Machine” is taken from the pair’s upcoming EP, The Dream Eaters Quarterly Report: Q125, out April 18, 2025.
With its pulsing beats, shimmering synths, and Elizabeth LeBaron’s mesmerizing vocals, “Program Me, I’m A Machine” evokes a sense of nostalgia while feeling distinctly modern. The track’s mechanical yet emotive delivery mirrors its thematic core: an AI-like partner programmed for compliance but perhaps harboring something more beneath the surface.
The accompanying music video, filmed at Green Lung Studios in Red Hook, Brooklyn, brings this vision to life with dynamic visuals and offbeat choreography. “Our drummer/dancer, Steve Fugitt’s dancing was particularly strong that day (when isn’t it perfect, though?), and I shimmied quite a bit myself—poor robot moves and all,” says LeBaron. “We were really feeling this one and just having a lot of fun.”
Beyond its infectious hooks and sci-fi aesthetic, “Program Me, I’m A Machine” carries a deeper message. “It feels both in the past and also in the future, but also the present?” LeBaron muses. “Almost like the desire to control women’s bodies is timeless…”

Since 2015, The Dream Eaters have evolved from a dream pop band into a full-on video art project, amassing a cult following with their darkly humorous and visually captivating content. LeBaron, originally from Calgary, and Jake Zavracky, from Boston, met while working at a bar in Brooklyn’s Gowanus neighborhood and soon began crafting music together. Their unique blend of dreamy soundscapes and off-kilter storytelling has earned them a dedicated fanbase, with hundreds of videos released across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube.
This year, The Dream Eaters, along with Fugitt, will embark on a U.S. and Canadian tour, bringing their signature blend of music and visual artistry to the stage.
