SIN FANG, SÓLEY & ÖRVAR SMÁRASON - DREAM IS MURDER (2LP)

"Some people say it's the hope that kills you, but statistically dreams are responsible for a lot more casualties. The second album from the Icelandic supergroup not only acknowledges this, but celebrates it. To dream is to slowly digest oneself from the inside. In January 2021 the team was reunited and have since been writing, recording and releasing a new song each last Friday of the month, much like they did in 2018. "Dream is Murder" is the result - a collection of all twelve songs on one album. Sin Fang, Sóley and Örvar are all established performers, composers and producers in their own right, but the Team Dreams project is much more than the sum of its parts. Even though each of their individual fingerprints can be found all over the album, the result has a distinctive sound of its own. The artwork was conjured up by Ingibjörg Birgisdóttir and is as much a part of the whole as the music. Each song was accompanied by a resin sculpture, with leftovers from dreams and daily life cast and preserved within. The music takes up three sides of the 2xLP and the fourth and final side holds an exquisite etching."
