The flow of promising new albums from the screamo/skramz/post-hardcore world continues apace today courtesy of Dreamwell. The Providence-based project has shared the first single from its upcoming Modern Grotesque LP today, a blistering shoegaze-infused freakout called “Sakaya.” In the end, nasally sing-spoken lyrics like “You can’t hurt a person if their body is empty/ I’m a porcelain doll, I am fragile but lifeless” build to a brutally harsh climax. The album also includes a new recording of “Painting Myself A Darker Day,” which Dreamwell released as a single back in May. Hear both tracks below via Brooklyn Vegan.
