Meet Prosthetic Records’ new screamo signing, Dreamwell
Dreamwell have signed to Prosthetic and unleashed an absolutely crushing new single, Obelisk Of Hands.
U.S. screamo band Dreamwell have signed to Prosthetic Records, and shared the first single from their upcoming album In My Saddest Dreams, I Am Beside You.
Following their 2021 self-released LP Modern Grotesque, the quintet will be unveiling their new record in full on October 20, with crushing preview Obelisk Of Hands out now (listen below).
“We invested an insane amount of detail and care into every aspect of this album and cannot wait to share it with you,” enthuses vocalist KZ Staska. “In My Saddest Dreams, I Am Beside You is an exploration of interpersonal relationships and how they are impacted by mental illness, particularly Borderline Personality Disorder, and employs a loose conceptual narrative following a character caught in a waking dream, viewing every aspect of his life through the lens of a heavily distorted reality and struggling to escape from his paranoid nightmares.”
Meanwhile, of Obelisk Of Hands, KZ shares that “what starts as a song about sexual openness slowly morphs into a sadder, bleaker song about using sexuality as a substitute for a lack of romantic affection and a temporary, and ultimately empty, attempt to feel less alone.
“The song features our good friend Logan St. Germain who plays bass in the band Anklebiter and was formerly the guitarist and vocalist for the band Lilac Queen. They have an incredible voice and sang the clean bridge a lot better than I possibly could have, and I’m thrilled by the extra dynamic touch that they add to the track.”
