Massimo Ruberti - "The Sound Trafficker"

Plaguedream artist and friend Massimo Ruberti has given an entertaining and informative interview to audiovoltaics about his recent album Autour de la Lune (Elpamusic).

If you enjoyed Ruberti's releases on This Plague of Dreaming*, take a look at the interview, and be sure to check out the new album**.

Harel Gal!

Harel Gal has a new full-length album up on bandcamp.com!*

Harel Gal - OHEZ BAANANIM

Harel's sound has grown more elaborate since his previous EP, the beginning the end. The album is drenched in the same gentle sadness, but with more emphasis on Harel's vocals, and a stronger rock edge. A cast of talented guest musicians helps fill out the arrangements.

*This is not a This Plague of Dreaming release, but we really think you ought to hear it just the same.
