## Background and Release

On February 3, the girl group released the teaser schedule for their first studio album “Dystopia: The Tree of Language.”

DreamCatcher has revealed a “lyrics spoiler” video for their comeback with “Scream”!

The lyrics written in the video are, “I don’t know a single thing, who this is for, someone tell me now, in the rising smoke now. Please, I don’t want to scream.”

In Febreary 18th DreamCatcher has released their first full album “Dystopia : The Tree of Language” and a music video for its title track “Scream.”

“Dystopia : The Tree of Language” begins a new story after DreamCatcher’s previous “nightmare” series. “Scream” was composed and written by LEEZ and Ollounder, and Kim Bo Eun also took part in writing the lyrics. The track combines rock with electronica, widening DreamCatcher’s range of musical genres. The song is motivated by the practice of witch hunts during the medieval period, and the scream before the chorus accentuates this motif.

Dreamcatcher's 1st Album [Dystopia : The Tree of Language] Introduction

Introducing a new world of Dreamcatcher with [Dystopia : The Tree of Language]

Dreamcatcher opens a new world and era with "Dystopia".

Dreamcatcher's first full length album, "Dystopia: The Tree of Language", concludes the epic "Nightmare Series" story they've been telling since their debut and opens up a new one with a new world.

Dreamcatcher's unique fantasy story continues in this new world. The dictionary definition of "dystopia" is "anti-ideal". As the title suggests, it combines the story of Dreamcatcher with a world colored by the darkness of hurtful "speech" or "language".

The first part on Dystopia, "The Tree of Language", reveals pieces of Dreamcatcher's vast story. A mysterious tree, an old man, a girl, a mask, and the members of Dreamcatcher all make appearances on the album, and their intertwined relationships reveal the sharp message that they are trying to convey.

The message of Dreamcatcher is not just a fantasy. In other words, the world of Dystopia created by Dreamcatcher is a mirror that allows us to look at our own lives and reflect on them once again.

Dreamcatchers have come to our side with a new world. Their story is about to begin again.

드림캐쳐 1st Album [Dystopia : The Tree of Language] 앨범 소개

드림캐쳐가 선사하는 새로운 세계 [Dystopia : The Tree of Language]

드림캐쳐의 새로운 세계 'Dystopia'가 문을 연다.

드림캐쳐의 첫 번째 정규 앨범 'Dystopia : The Tree of Language'는 데뷔 이후 그려온 '악몽'의 대서사시를 마무리 한 뒤, 새로운 세계관을 펼쳐내는 작품이다.

드림캐쳐만의 독특한 판타지 스토리는 새로운 세계에서도 계속된다. 'Dystopia'의 사전적 의미는 '反(반) 이상향'. 제목에서 유추할 수 있듯, 상처를 품은 언어로 인해 어둠으로 물든 세계와 드림캐쳐만의 이야기를 녹여냈다.

'Dystopia'의 첫 작품인 'The Tree of Language'에서는 드림캐쳐가 펼쳐낼 방대한 이야기의 힌트들이 공개된다. 앨범 속에 등장하는 의문의 나무, 노인, 소녀, 가면, 그리고 드림캐쳐 멤버들. 이들의 얽히고설킨 관계 속에서 드림캐쳐가 전하고자 하는 날카로운 메시지가 숨을 죽이고 있다.

이와 같은 드림캐쳐의 메시지는 비단 판타지 속에 머무르지 않는다. 지금 우리가 살아가고 있는 아프고 고된 현실을 반영하기 때문이다. 즉, 드림캐쳐가 탄생시킨 'Dystopia'의 세계는 우리의 삶을 다시 한번 되짚어 보게 하는 거울인 셈이다.

새로운 세계를 품고 우리 곁에 찾아온 드림캐쳐. 이들의 이야기는 지금부터 다시 시작이다.

## Critical reception

Writing for *Allkpop*, Eric Wirsing remarked: "Despite all these tracks, there is very little filler. Every song is pretty much classic Dreamcatcher in one way or another. While there are some deviations from the formula, they still killed it."

## Trivia

* "Dystopia" is an imagined state or society in which there is great suffering or injustice, typically one that is totalitarian or post-apocalyptic.
* Handong was not be present for recording and promotions due to taking part in the Chinese survival show *Youth With You* (Season 2). This is also Dreamcatcher's first time performing as a six-member group.
* Writing for Allkpop, Eric Wirsing remarked: "Despite all these tracks, there is very little filler. Every song is pretty much classic Dreamcatcher in one way or another. While there are some deviations from the formula, they still killed it."
* The songs "Full Moon" and "Over the Sky" were previously released as digital singles to celebrate Dreamcatcher's debut anniversary, however they were added to the album release.
* "Paradise" is Siyeon's solo debut and a prelude to the release of "Dystopia: Tree of Language" and as such it was added to the album as a *Special Track*.
* This is the first time that one of Dreamcatcher's album has featured four physical versions.
	+ And since then it seems to have remained that way in all their Korean releases.
