Singer-songwriter Kimi Recor debuted her solo venture Draemings, not long after the demise of dream-pop quintet Black Flamingo. Since then, she’s collaborated with others, played in the band Tete and continued to work on her R&B-tinged darkwave, releasing a mixtape and an EP (which now seem to have vanished online). Today, Recor revealed Draemings has aligned with Sumerian Records, home to L.A.’s Night Riots, among others, and that a full-length release is in the works. The recordings feature contributions from Jeff Friedl and Matt McJunkins, the A Perfect Circle mates who are now collaborating in the Beta Machine. The new single “Teen Dream Death Machine” is absent the experimentation of Draemings’ early outings but finds the same moodiness, shaking itself out of its ethereal verses with an ebullient chorus.
