The Dream Eaters have evolved from a dream pop band into a full-on video art project with an extensive catalogue of weird and darkly humorous music videos of their catchy pop songs. The duo started working together after vocalist Elizabeth LeBaron, originally from Calgary, started working at the same bar as singer/songwriter Jake Zavracky, originally from Boston, in the Gowanus neighborhood of Brooklyn.
“I AM BLEEDING INTERNALLY” is their take on synth-pop and country fusion. Their macabre sense of humor shines through, with Elizabeth citing this favourite lyric—”Now I’m crying on the floor of a Wamart store”—as “visceral and troublingly relatable.” Jake adds that “Most of our songs are about dealing with emotional problems and the lyrics are the sort of things you mutter under your breath when you’re walking around pissed off.”
