Toronto-based Artoffact Records has announced the signing of Vancouver synth-punk act Freak Dream. The band's debut full-length, Into the Sun, will be released worldwide on September 21st.
The first track leak from the album, the title track “Into the Sun,” is now streaming on Bandcamp.
Founded in Vancouver by musician Elliot Langford (SSRIs, The Rebel Spell, Sprïng, Big EviL, Togetherness), Freak Dream is a new project with one EP under its belt and a relentless, energetic live show. Inspired by the work of solo producer artists such as Nine Inch Nails, Prince, and Grimes, Freak Dream takes the cathartic energy of punk (Converge, Blood Brothers), and the textures of noise-rock (HEALTH, Melt Banana), combined with post-hardcore influenced vocals.
The project’s first full-length album, Into the Sun, will be released on Toronto-based Artoffact Records on September 21st
Described by Overblown as “an unrelenting blast of swirling feedback, tense synths, saturated vocals, and tightly wound songwriting,” Freak Dream is bending genres and creating a wild, techno-punk admixture of sonic assaults guaranteed to get the dopamine flowing.
“Manic unpredictability.”
