New, SIGNED copies direct from Carrellee (Sarah Pray) while in Houston on her tour stop!

Carrellee overlays delicately sensual vocals over a wall of scorched synths and processed tapes. She had some help crafting her noir synth-pop sound from co-producer Brett Bullion (Low, Poliça, Bad Bad Hats.) Carrellee turned to the microKORG and Yamaha DX7 synths after finding the folk music she had been doing to fall a bit flat in expressing the intensity of the year, including going through a divorce with her personal and musical partner.

"Carrellee comes from an American Singer/ Songwriter background, and brings something new to our stable of artists. Her music is crafted from folk music, but twisted with electronics, and delivered with a bittersweet arrangement of emotions. We knew from the first time hearing her song Morning Sun that she was special. Carrellee is pure talent, and elevates our artist roster. - Micah Skaritka - Negative Gain Records.

While writing new songs for this record, Carrellee started posting weekly demo videos on social media amassing nearly one million streams on Facebook in 2021. 'Scale Of Dreams' conjures crushed artifacts of desire, with each instrument processed through crumpled and fried analog tape drawing inspiration from 80’s new wave icons Cocteau Twins and Kate Bush, as well as a variety of Italo disco artists.

About Carrellee: Carrellee grew up in a musical household. Her dad taught her piano and by age five was learning jazz chords and music theory. She worked at recording studios in Madison and Minneapolis as an intern and then started creating her own music, playing frequently at the 400 Bar in Minneapolis. She had a few releases under Sarah Pray and also has a folk duo album with her ex-husband, now friend, Thomas Kivi performing as Kivi & Pray touring through Europe, and much of the US in the style of Emmylou Harris and Gram Parsons. During the pandemic, and divorce, her moody, piano-based compositions became a needed release.
