Since 2015, The Dream Eaters have evolved from a dream pop band into a full-on video art project with an extensive catalog of weird and darkly humorous music videos of their catchy pop songs. The duo started working together after vocalist Elizabeth LeBaron, originally from Calgary, started working at the same bar as singer/songwriter Jake Zavracky, originally from Boston, in the Gowanus neighborhood of Brooklyn NY.
The pair made several EPs before releasing their first full length album We Are A Curse in 2017, followed by their second album, Pagan Love, in 2018, and toured frequently all over the Eastern US and Canada.
In 2019 the pair started working on a web series called “The Dream Eating Freakshow” which they began releasing in September of 2020. Since then the band has released hundreds of videos on TikTok, Instagram and YouTube and has grown a significant cult fanbase.
“It’s really hard to describe what we do in an elevator pitch,” says Jake Zavracky. “It’s not hard to understand it when you see it, but you HAVE to see it. Luckily for us it’s very easy for people to see it these days, because social media makes it so accessible.”
