Fully formed in 2022, Kansas City’s Dreamist simultaneously convey the visceral and esoteric. Holding dissonance in one hand and finesse in the other; Eli, kole, Cassiopeia, and Jacob embrace a full spectrum of genre to convey the many highs and lows of the human experience. Whether it is with voice, guitar, drum, synthesizer, or sample, Dreamist creates a space of vulnerability and catharsis in every performance and recording.Their debut lp, “Shouldn’t Be” (2024) does exactly that.
