So there’s this band called Black Moth Super Rainbow. Never heard of it? That’s okay. Neither have I. Apparently they play a kind of music they themselves once described as follows… ‘deep in the woods of western Pennsylvania vocoders hum amongst the flowers and synths bubble under the leaf-strewn ground while flutes whistle in the wind and beats bounce to the soft drizzle of a warm acid rain. As the sun peeks out from between the clouds, the organic aural concoction of Black Moth Super Rainbow starts to glisten above the trees’. That right there spells W-A-N-K-E-R-S if you ask me.
Dreamend is the solo projectof BMSR’s bassist Ryan Graveface. While he tells the story of a murderer who’s spiraling into madness on “So I Ate Myself, Bite By Bite”, he uses some elements from folk (acoustic instruments) mixed with some electronics and a lot of well, questionable songwriting. “So I Ate Myself, Bite By Bite” sounds like a bad acid trip. While I’m sure indie scenesters all over are cumming in their undies while listening to this, I think it falls under the ‘pretentious crap’ moniker.
Score: 3.5 out of 10

I love that album. There is no way in hell that DREAMEND is pretentious, that's the last thing they are. Have a chat with Ryan Graveface (dreamend) and you will find that he is one of the nicest and down-to-earth guys in the independent music scene.
