It’s not often that a musical endeavour can spur a deep yearning to facilitate a brutally honest evaluation of one’s own path, especially in the wake of identifying the seemingly toxic elements seeping into every facet of your past and present self.
With such a unique and powerful essence radiating out of every track, that a nearly decade long journey to the release of the long awaited debut album – Sometimes You’re Gonna Feel Like a Loser But That’s Alright by the Gothenburg native Emo Rockers Dream Drop is finally hitting the airwaves.
Tapping into the complex, torturous and sobering reality of mental and emotional crisis immersion, Dream Drop’s latest addition to their discography can be perceived by listeners as a darkwave and horrorcore melting pot, that is continuously swirling around the bands already established roots within post-hardcore and emo circles. An interesting phenomenon taking reign over the albums dark aesthetics and overall lyrical themes is the possible lingering parallel to the known six stages of grief, including Numbness/Denial, Anxiety/Panic, Bargaining/Control, Frustration/Despair as well an understanding of Acceptance that seems to fall short of true peace of mind that we’re assuming will eventually be explored in the next “phase” of the bands evolutionary soundscape.
