Bay Area singer and guitarist Chloe Zelma Studebaker, aka Zelma Stone, navigates the impermanence of life on her new self-released EP, Dreamland. In the decade since the tragic passing of her older brother, Studebaker has lost her mother and grandfather, as well as a close friend in the Oakland Ghost Ship fire. Grief, fear, and healing are reflected here across dreamy, hopeful Americana-pop songs that reach beyond the physical realm. "Undeniably life-affirming and comforting," says Gorilla vs. Bear.
