To make sense of a senseless world, the crux behind BleakHeart's second full length album Silver Pulse expands beyond the mourning of Dream Griever (2020) into a lush, melancholic personal telling of cellular decay and the wish to understand and break down powers outside of our control. It both expresses the pain felt within the wake of disease, loss, and the unknown, as well as surrendering to its taking. "Once you have grappled with the sheer physicality that your body will have to be in, and go through for the rest of your life," explains backing vocalist, lyricist, synth player Kiki GaNun about her experience with dynamic disability, "then comes the waves of emotions, and the reality that although this is not a fully inclusive and complete identity, it absolutely will color every part of you and your experience."
Sonically, BleakHeart intertwines raw, rich interweaving guitars with string quartets, pulsating bass, and celestial synths and pianos, all beautifully blended as the underbelly for emotive, ethereal vocals. Produced by Pete de Boer of World Famous Studios, the all analogue production amplifies BleakHeart's expansive sound and somber songwriting, inviting the listener in for a heart wrenching, intimate experience.

This band is unreal.
I hopped on the Dreadnought train after catching them live this past summer '22. I was completely floored by their performance.
Their music demands repeated listens, at least for me. But it's so rewarding, and I'm just constantly amazed as I go through their catalog.
WE MUST PROTECT THIS BAND AT ALL COSTS :) meshugganner
A heavy blend of post-rock and shoegaze from Argentina's Ox en Mayo Alto rides big emotional crests and contemplative valleys. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 27, 2021
French darkwave outfit Candélabre channel New Romantic pop, dousing big melodies with a healthy amount of foggy, swirling atmosphere. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 27, 2021
Extremely atmospheric and quite varied, but not as polished as their later work. Still stands well on its own though. At first I was weirded out by the short instrumental tracks, but now I *really* dig them. dan-rod
