Life ain’t so pretty sometimes, especially with immigration goons marching through the streets of CEMENTO’s native Los Angeles on the hunt to ruin peaceful lives of its core communities. Community is a beautiful thing. When people come together and create a space worth inhabiting be it through art, food, music, or love, community enriches everyone’s lives. Cemento has focused its energy doing just that by writing their most expansive and provocative material yet. Bad Dream Songs is different. Raw, pure, and unapologetic yet unconventional goth infused post-punk that takes a hard look at the gray areas of an otherwise black and white existence. Cemento do not exist to merely play songs or occupy idle time. They are a family, able to witness and revel in the creative process, seeing each other bloom into better musicians while getting to be around each other laughing and feeling the same euphoric feeling of combined growth and achievement. “That’s what drives us, living in the moment… together.” Now it’s time for you to live too. 350 on black 150gr vinyl housed in a 24pt reverse board jacket with insert included. Recorded, mixed and mastered by Andrew Oswald. Cut by JJ Golden. Art by Kris Kirk with Zoe Zag and Lauren Bailey. FFO: The Sound, Pink Turns Blue, Christian Death, Gun Club, Chameleons.
