Album Notes & Community Reviews

'My Dreams Dictate My Reality' completely reinvents the artist's sound, heavily embracing the dark, driving aesthetics of 1980s post-punk and new wave. The album utilizes propulsive drum machine beats, icy synthesizer lines, and aggressively chorus-drenched basslines to create a gloomy, atmospheric backdrop for her detached vocals. It is a deeply nostalgic, energetic rock record that successfully channels the spirit of gothic alternative music.
