Dream States by Dead Heart Bloom
New full length release from ambient rock collective Dead Heart Bloom, anchored by primary writers Boris Skaksy's and Paul Wood's penchant for space, texture and, fittingly, aural dream states.
Preceded by early 2024 singles 'Better Than Most' and 'Dear Stranger', the full-length splits equal time between the rhythmically up beat post-pandemic guitar rock of the initial singles and the reverberant atmosphere of title track 'Dream State', spacious desolation of 'Cold Heart' and transcendent longing within 'Memories of You'.
Available on all streaming and limited edition vinyl (coming soon).
