Dream Violence
Australian singer/songwriter Michael Beach is an architect of a sound that’s both well-built and ramshackle, straightforward and indeterminably complex, out of the norm yet familiar in all the best ways.
He returns with an epic fourth album ‘Dream Violence’ that explores the duality of the human condition. It encapsulates human futility, passion, desire, anger, frustration, and the struggle to maintain hope in a somewhat hopeless time.
Known for his work touring with the eccentric Israeli guitarist Charlie Megira and Australian guitar-jangle-pop band Thigh Master, Beach strives to convey both passion and compassion, energy and action.
“My hope is that something gets communicated that makes people think outside of themselves or their surroundings,” he says. “To ask questions, and consider the effects of their decisions. To communicate some essential part of the human spirit that understands intuitively how to feel connected to each other rather than divide, exploit, separate, ignore, and all the other heinous shit we have the ability to do with each other.”
