'deathdreams' was written and performed by Emily Whitehurst, the solo artist behind Survival Guide. Produced and recorded by Bob Hoag in late 2022 at Flying Blanket Studios in Mesa, AZ.At times a darkly sonic and emotional hand grenade and others a poppy shimmering rainbow of rich melodies and textures, 'deathdreams' is a tour de force that showcases the depth of Whitehurst’s songwriting, lyrical imagery, and vocal fortitude. Far-ranging in its topic matter, the album touches on the themes of anxiety, the power of cinema, and the dangers of societal influences, in addition to Whitehurst’s dreams about dying.
