About this product
Last Glacial Maximum is the debut full length from Dream_Mega, the recording project of Los Angeles-based artist/musician Joel Kyack. Across six songs, the album unfolds like a set of auditory hallucinations that are at once alien, funereal, triumphant, and life-affirming. Situated somewhere between the lysergic bedroom crunk of Black Zone Myth Chant's InchStraight Cassette,Inch the fourth world punk sensibilities of Sublime Frequencies and Glitterbeat Records, and the homespun terror of early Hanson Records, Dream_Mega's sound is something entirely new-like Terry Riley doing Cro Mags covers using Uncle Sleazy's gear, or God making a trap record. Album Tracks 1. Cost of the Feast 2. Buy a Serrated Knife 3. Ghost Lineage 4. Bathed in Piss 5. Last Glacial Maximum 6. Night Salad

At a recent DREAM_MEGA performance, Joel Kyack stood alone on stage, directing alava flow of sound at the audience. Overwhelmed by the haunted-house frequencies, theinvasive rhythms, the untethered, untuned vocals, one attendee bent against another towhisper, InchI think this guy's channeling demons.Inch Whether spoken in terror or esteem, thisaccusation is useful in the face of DREAM_MEGA's second LP, 'Control / You Are Not theCenter.' The record is laced with menace. You hear it in the mutant war marches, in thedancehall reflux, in the tolling bass. You hear it in the crystalline melodies and theyearning ascensions. You even hear it in the Guided by Voices cover.Joel's relationship with unsettling sound-demon channeling-is now decades long. Hislong-standing service in Landed, the band he co-founded in 1997, runs parallel to Joel'scontributions to Six Finger Satellite, Men's Recovery Project, Megafuckers, Dos Mega,and Street Buddy. This relentless dedication points a straight line to the feverish decay ofhis present day work, but Dream Mega stands distinct. Borne out of Joel's near-deathexperience in 2020-a debilitated week spent isolated in Thailand, coughing blood anddrenching bedsheets-DREAM_MEGA commandeers a unique space at the overlap ofconfrontation and abandon.Drawing on his own experiences at both hardcore shows and at street performances,Joel pushes DREAM_MEGA into an antipodal state where hyper-awareness andliberatory transcendence coexist. The songs on 'Control / You Are Not the Center' stareunblinking at our dumb, dangerous world the same way a Dropdead song might, but theysimultaneously lift the burden of this disaster, pushing toward airy respite. Some of this isJoel's compositional approach, setting ancient woodwinds against digital synthesizers,crossing unnatural circuitry with human breath. But the heart of it is Joel's dire,middle-of-the-night need
