Kramies Announces New Album “Goodbye Dreampop Troubadou”, Shares New Song “Hollywood Signs”
American singer-songwriter Kramies has announced his upcoming album “Goodbye Dreampop Troubadou” will be released on October 10, 2025 via VanGerrett Records.
The album is his first body of work in three years since the 2022 self titled album.
From the album, he released the first single “Hollywood Signs” on August 15, 2025.
The song conjures dusky soundscapes shaded with nighttime colors and a nostalgic melancholia.
It was written by Kramies and produced by Mario J McNulty. The accompanying video was directed by Kramies.
The track features David Goodheim on electric guitar and bass, John Panza on drums, and Dave Eggar on strings.
Kramies said of the song, “'Hollywood Signs' - created for all the mountain to sea spirits and the hip city dwellers , is going to make you feel beautiful. It's connected to a brand new album, that might be the closest thing to my spirit without harming it.”- Kramies told glide Magazine about the song, “'Hollywood Signs' was born from a surreal, cocaine-fueled storyline - an eruption of nostalgia, memory, and the need to create colliding together. After the success of my last album, I slipped into a quiet, disoriented emotional fog, drained and disconnected. I had nothing left to pull from - until I let myself descend into a spiral. From that small bit of chaos came a new folkloric story, a new truth.”

The new album 7 tracks, featuring a guest appearance from Denver-based singer-songwriter Allison Lorenzen, produced by Mario J McNulty. It is a stridently confident solo creation, with Kramies playing 90% of the instruments across the album.
Soothing, stirring, and subtly unsettling, this new work is the stuff of folklore and fantasy, with a deeply touching human heart, wandering through eerie scenery, fairytale myths, and tender memories with haunting grace.
Kramies said of the album, “I'm happy to report it's happening again! What a journey. And through it all Ive learned to see things with much more wisdom and healthier eyes. I had to break off parts of myself and find the light switch. 'Goodbye Dreampop Troubadour' awakens from the landscapes this year. There's magic, spirits and life in this one.” - source : Apple Music
