David Lynch's Longtime chief sound designer Dean Hurley has collaborated on a second album of sampling ambient fantasies with Celine Dion-worshipping enigma Romance, on an immersive followup to last year’s ‘In Every Dream Home A Heartache’. ‘River of Dreams’ examines the interior, mental imbalance sewn by obsessive fandom. As the pair explain, “…the same waters that harvest and transport buoyant dreams, often funnel into nightmarish, tumultuous oceans…” [from the Press Release]
“Just as Twin Peaks eyeballed the grotesque energy bubbling beneath the surface of suburban America, ‘River of Dreams’ looks at the same phenomenon using the passing of time as a magnifying component. Lynch's original series was tangled in 1980s and '90s soap themes that have almost lost their relevance four decades later, and so the album’s sanded-down pads, gooey, hyper-emotional loops and detached vocal snippets satirise the past just as much as they idolize it.” [PR]
