Dreamend is the folky alter-ego of Ryan Graveface, bassist from electronic outfit
Black Moth Super Rainbow and owner of Graveface Records. He's just released "Magnesium Light," the first single for his upcoming album
So I Ate Myself, Bite by Bite.
Due out August 10th,
So I Ate Myself, Bite by Bite is a narrative that unravels the saga of a serial killer. While I'm told to anticipate "dark" and "nightmarish" folk, the single that's out is definitely on the cheery end of what you'd expect given the album's title, with childlike singing over a foundation of beautiful banjo work. Graveface values the physical presentation of an album as well as the music itself, so the LP version of
So I Ate Myself, Bite by Bite will be released in the form of a phenakistoskope &mdash whether or not you can pronounce that, or even believe it's a real thing, it looks pretty cool. Get a preview of that
