Hank's Dream is an indie-rock band based in Montréal, QC formed by Henry Cobb, who, outside of his duties as a church organist, is often found making music on his 4-track in the basement of his apartment. Their synth-rich sound contains the same imperfections, character and nostalgia as your mum's rare 45s from the fan club she was a part of in the ’80s. In September 2025, they released their first LP, Running in Circles. The 11-track LP deals with themes of escapism and stagnation, with detours through love and elevator music.
