Catchy pop act The Dream Eaters are vocalist Elizabeth LeBaron, originally from Calgary, and singer/songwriter Jake Zavracky, originally from Boston. The duo met while working at the same bar in the Gowanus neighborhood of Brooklyn, NY, and have evolved from a dream pop band into a full-on video art project.
Having recently released the song “mood pills,” The Dream Eaters are following up with an anthemic new track. “Subhuman” was born out of Jake’s observations of the struggle for transgender rights. It looks into the mind of a person who is yearning for acceptance, but who is committed to their individuality and staying true to themselves. Featuring a driving beat, the melodic single is available to stream + share now.
The official music video portrays Elizabeth and Jake as two goths in their high school yearbook photos. It demonstrates what it’s like to feel rejected for being different, while still craving validation and love.
