'The Apocalypse Dream' is the new album from Kate Clover.
Los Angeles, where dreams are born or made to die. The beginning of a story or tragic end, often you don’t get to make the choice. For better or worse, my hometown. As a lifelong Angeleno the desire to flee has run deep and yet I always returned. Too proud to leave this polarizing city of dreams.
During the Spring of 2020 when the town cleared out and the smog lifted, dystopia emerged. Reality, now more shocking than fiction. LA became the backdrop to a neon-noir nightmare. Its vacancy created a void so great, one could see their reflection all too clearly, even if the mirror was cracked. It became home to my Apocalypse Dream.
“Through the clouds of doubt, the naysayers set aim. Weary and dazed, the intoxicating fumes of delusion will see you through. Utopia exists in your mind’s eye, and you seem a fool. If you can stand the fight, it’s yours for the taking. For even if you lose, dreams go on...”
'The Apocalypse Dream' is Clover’s sophomore record. Produced byJonah Falco (Fucked Up, Chubby and the Gang, The Chisel) and mixed by Grammy award winning producer Carlos De La Garza (The Linda Lindas, Paramore). Sonically inspired by 70s punk, power pop and a bit of The Kinks. Lyrically inspired by Beat poet Charles Plymell. Reflecting on topics such as self-destruction, politics, love and the desire to find oneself in a world gone mad.
