THE BLEAK ASSEMBLY - Explores The Dynamics Of Change With New EP

Denver, Colorado (USA) based darkwave/post-punk duo The Bleak Assembly released the debut EP titled We Become Strangers as a self-release. The Bleak Assembly is a collaboration between Kimberly of Bow Ever Down and Michael Smith of Fiction8. While there are a few electronic textures here and there, We Become Strangers is straight-up post-punk and darkwave. Guitars, drums, and songwriting with hooks for days.  This EP sits more comfortably alongside Siouxsie & The Banshees, Actors, and Bootblacks than it does VNV Nation or Covenant.

Regarding the nature of "change" that inspired the EP, Michael Smith states: "If there's a theme to this EP, it's in recognizing how we've changed as artists and as people. What if you met your younger self and your younger self didn't even recognize you?  That's what We Become Strangers is about."  Kimberly goes on to say: "It's a strong feeling of being cut from the past. It's a little alienating but also very liberating." Link
