Somewhere between the dusty dollar-bin vinyls and the random kickbacks with friends, there’s a story within a story. Awkward Dreadhead is an enigma, an artist who creates art and doesn't ask for your approval. An unstoppable creative, he has just released his newest creation, a chilling short film and music video that blends psychological horror with emotional truth.
The film tells the story of two women trapped in a toxic, codependent bond. Their love is intense and obsessive, and it is impossible to break. When one partner slips into a manic bipolar spiral, the world inside her mind begins to fracture. She hears voices. She becomes paranoid. The emotional whiplash twists their passion into something dangerous and unstable. The entire film is carried by the pulse of Awkward DreadHead’s new single, 'Notifications Are For The Weekend', a visceral anthem that demands your attention.
The song fills the air with a sense of tension and unease. The atmosphere becomes both hypnotic and claustrophobic, creating a perfect backdrop for the emotional collapse taking place on screen. The track features HolyHart and Oleskii, two artists who bring their own energy into the sound. Together they help Awkward DreadHead shape a record that feels haunting and club-ready at the same time.
The result is a piece of music that stands on its own while also amplifying the tension of the film. This release begins a new chapter for his upcoming project 'Music From the Struggle Class of 2007', an album that promises to be personal and experimental. Each piece of music he unveils feels like another step towards defining who he is as an artist.
Awkward DreadHead is not asking for attention. He is creating art for those who are willing to sit with it, feel it and understand it. This creation makes it clear that he is stepping into a bold new era, and he is doing it with vision, fearlessness, and a cinematic touch that demands to be noticed.
