New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Combining soulful vocals and avant-garde imagery in one infectious burst, AWAKEN I AM has eradicated genres with "Black Dreams," their latest visual masterpiece. The video comes from their likewise enchanting new album, Blind Love, available everywhere now. Watch "Black Dreams" below:
"'Black Dreams' is written from a dark place of trying to climb out of the depths of depression and anxiety," explains drummer Luke McKenzie. "In that place, it's hard to confront yourself and the spiral of self destructive tendencies. Ultimately it is the love of those who know you better than you know yourself that help lift you up."
Since its release on September 29, AWAKEN I AM gave audiences a first listen to Blind Love's new tracks while supporting Slaves in their native Australia and to headlining audiences in Japan. New international tour dates will be announced soon.
