I’m extremely excited to announce that the first full-length and cassette from Cesspool Dreams is out now on Somatic out of Austin, TX! Paper Angels features six lushly-bleak songs from Matt Finney and myself, and we hope you will take this dark journey down into the cesspool of life with us. Paper Angels is available now on a limited edition cassette, streaming and for downloads. Layers of subtle electronics couple with guitar soundscapes, riffage and solos–all weaving in and out around Matt’s voice and forlorn texts. We are exceedingly happy with the dynamic sound and the rich ebb and flow on Paper Angels. Somatic probably describes it best:

As a Follow up to January’s track “Memory Piece” Alabama duo Cesspool Dreams have created a brooding debut body of work entitled “Paper Angels”. Each track ties together a narrative of harrowing despair in the underbelly of the American South where lonely towns, restless nights and a crippling blackness spindle like stalks of corn in the psyches of wandering souls. Dirges of synth careen through Jeff McLeod’s beautifully dark minor scale guitar passages devising a fit setting for Matt Finney’s(Opal Tapes/The Flenser) spoken word as all directs us towards an inevitable demise. “Paper Angels” is a bleak, modern observation of rural Southern United States. It is the sound of a vast emptiness in the humid night sky. The track “Halo” is up for streaming via Bandcamp.
