False Awakening Loops by Bolt Ruin

Sleep irregularities range from the slightly unsettling to the completely debilitating, occasionally causing people to start underground fistfighting rings that turn into fully-fledged terrorist groups. To give us some familiarity with the sensation of sleep paralysis, Bolt Ruin wrote False Awakening Loops, the soundtrack to countless hyper realistic nightmares. Alternatively, this record could be interpreted as a Soundtracks for the Blind type of project that creates the score for a movie that will never exist, since we hear these epic, gargantuan drums and pulsating energy that often seeps its way into contemporary film scores as well. In reality, our nightmares take subconscious cues from the media we consume, supplanting our creative potential with the desire to be the main character of a blockbuster. We actively choose to watch danger being played out on the screen, so cartoonishly intense adversity also slides into our dreams. -Michael
