Dreamend - So I Ate Myself: Bite By Bite (2010)

One of the better albums I bought this year, but it took me a couple of listens to appreciate it. It's an odd one, and I say that as someone who loves odd music. It's part low-fi, indie, and Americana (yes Americana). Those who "get" this will be rewarded with some of the most exciting music I've heard in years. It's an incredible album.


Sure, but will it sound all audiophile-ey on my system? :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

Sounds intriguing- I'm gonna try and check it out. Thanks for dropping a few lines about your posted album. I wish more people would do that more often !   :thumb:

Definitely NOT an audiophile recording. In fact, it would probably sound better if you played it on a boombox. The two Titus Andronicus albums I've posted recently have a similar sound. I think there are some recordings that shouldn't have an audiophile sound. I'll revisit that statement when I figure out how to phrase it properly, but some albums are more interesting and engaging when you can't identify every instrument and where they are coming from. The Ramones never made an "audiophile approved" recording, but that never stops me from playing them. I stopped chasing the audiophile tail a long time ago and FINALLY have a music collection that I love to listen to.

That Dreamend album is f-ing incredible.

I wish more folks would post comments too  8)

There are some similarities to the Titus Andronicus albums (which I love too). At times it's electronic and "experimental", blending (according to the editorial review on Amazon) banjo, bells, guitar and organ into the sound. Almost ambient at times, like some Eno albums, then the next track comes along and changes everything - suddenly loud and "fuzzy". It's just a rollercoaster of sounds going from one turn to another. It's quiet one minute and loud the next. Exciting, as music should be. I know all about binge-buys  8)


I hope you enjoy it like I am.

I have a few of their albums bookmarked in my Amazon wishlist, but I don't own any yet. There's so much good music out there it's hard to keep up  :?


They sound a bit like early Smashing Pumpkins if you like that band.

From the samples, I really like some of this.  The songs with vocals remind me somewhat of Broken Social Scene.

You have to hear the full album to appreciate this one. The Amazon samples only catch a glimpse of its brilliance. This album is truly amazing.
