Yeah, PotF is Poets of the Fall, and Dreaming Wide Awake is actually from my favourite album of theirs. It's pretty generally what their sound was like up to the 2010's after which they become more experimental and less to my tastes, although the new songs they had in Control were pretty damn amazing. My Dark Disquiet became all at once my third favourite Poets song of all time.
Funnily enough, Poets is actually way out from what I usually listen to -- I joke about my favourite genre being "things with a good beat", so everything from rock to jazz to pop to trance works really well for me and the only music I really dislike is the type that is just too much of a mess of textures for it to be satisfying.
Hell, Spotify keeps putting EDM into my daily lists b/c I got randomly served Yoiyoi Kokon in the middle of my Nerdy Song playlist and I super fell in love with REOL's sound. (Although the rest of their stuff is a lot more "pure" electronica, Yoiyoi Kokon is kind of a weird combination of traditional Japanese musical instruments and the lyrics are in "old" Japanese and the whole song just reminded me really hard of my favourite anime of all time so that's the one that gets to be my favourite. The rest of their stuff is more pixel-pop-y electronica)
