Dramamine releases Fallen EP
Dramamine has released their first EP called Fallen. This six track EP pulls from your classic shoegaze and dream pop artists, such as Slowdive. Pete Pom is the man behind the project, writing and producing Dramamine’s music. Leading up to this EP, Dramamine released five full-lengths since November 2022.
Pete Pom blends layers of atmospheric guitars, fuzzy tones, and occasional acoustic to create their sound. His mixing engineer Lance Fohrenkam adds rich reverb with long trails with the drums closer in the mix. Vocals are layered with various effects to make them sit in the music.
Catching Up
I’ve been out for a while, dealing with personal things. During that time, there was so much music I wanted to write about. Many artists, some of whom are friends, sent me amazing singles and albums. I must say that I owe it to you to write about these submissions, even if they might not be new.
A few albums I have been enjoying:
The Japanese House – In The End It Always Does LP
Superviolet – Infinite Spring LP
There are so many others I have been enjoying!
I am also working on new music with artists, and am excited to share as they are released. There will be a lot more of this in the coming year.
All that aside, we will resume posting!
Puddlegum Studio: Mixing and Mastering
Aside from music journalism, I am a Mixing Engineer. Projects I’ve worked on have involved Saeyers, Midi Memory, Cathedral Bells, COOL HEAT, CD Ghost, The Doorbells, Processions, and others. Streams from these songs have pushed five million.
We set up our Mix Studio in a new space and are offering Summer ’23 Rates for Mixing and Mastering. When it comes to mixing, I’m not happy until you’re happy. I want to help you realize your vision while exceeding your expectations.
If you have a project and you’re looking for a Mix Engineer, hit me up!

Kevin Flick
