Post Death Soundtrack’s album ‘In All My Nightmares I Am Alone’ is a fierce, deeply personal collection that captures raw emotion in its many forms. Opening with “Tremens”, Stephen Moore plunges listeners into a chaotic soundscape born from his own struggles, setting a tone of unfiltered intensity. The follow-up, “Good Time Slow Jam”, contrasts with its title by delivering a dark, unsettling vibe that mixes pain with a twisted groove. “A Monolith of Alarms” feels like a call to arms, channeling a mix of industrial grit and urgent despair. The haunting reinterpretation of “Venus in Furs” brings a subversive energy, while “When the World is Burning Bright” offers a gothic post-punk mood full of tension and mystery. “Fast Approaching Radiant Light” accelerates with frenetic rhythms, pushing the album’s urgency even further. “Something Stirs” slows down, its mournful tone reflecting deep loss, and “We Fall” is a brief but crushing meditation on grief.
Midway through the album, “Hypnotizer” blends Eastern-tinged riffs with a critique of social and emotional numbness, while “River Man” stands out as a tender, imperfect cover of Nick Drake’s classic. “Final Days” brings punk energy and chaotic humor, injecting a bit of rebellious fun into the dark atmosphere. Songs like “Reckless Fever”, “Surrender”, “Oversoul”, and “Start This Over” lean toward introspective acoustic moments, showcasing Moore’s softer side inspired by Leonard Cohen. The blues-inflected “Crawling King Snake” and the gritty “God’s Away on Business” pay homage to musical influences while keeping Moore’s unique edge. “What’s He Building in There?” unfolds as a creepy, theatrical piece full of paranoia and intrigue. “An Anything”, “Song for Bonzai”, and “Desert Wind” offer more reflective, melancholic pauses that balance the album’s heavier parts.
The final tracks, including “Control”, “I Would Surmise”, “Trigger Finger”, and “White Mare”, return to noisy, intense expressions of frustration and darkness. “Get Your Tickets Ready” combines satire and intensity, while “Nothing” strips everything down to raw vulnerability. Closing with the title track “In All My Nightmares I Am Alone”, Moore ends the album in a place of haunting solitude and acceptance. Throughout this expansive album, Stephen Moore doesn’t shy away from exploring pain, chaos, and beauty. ‘In All My Nightmares I Am Alone’ is a brutal yet honest experience, where music becomes a powerful outlet for confronting inner demons and finding unexpected moments of grace.
