Trace Mountains has announced his new album, 'Into the Blue,' due out September 27 via Lame-O Records. Listen to 'In a Dream' here.
Rainwater ripples across the surface of the spacey first notes of “In a Dream,” the opener of Trace Mountains’ forthcoming album,, produced by Craig Hendrix of Japanese Breakfast. The atmospheric synth lines and drum machine loops pool around minimal, largely monosyllabic lyrics about going about business as usual as the world burns and existence within it becomes more and more surreal.
“From the start of the record-making process, Craig and I envisioned “In a Dream” as the opening track on,” Benton says of the album and the single. “On an album that is largely auto-biographical and very personal in nature, it felt vital to begin in a place with a bit of worldview. Especially now, in an election year in the US, I think it’s meaningful to acknowledge the state-inflicted suffering and denial of life that happens here and all over the world.
“In a Dream” floats between the conscious and the subconscious, the personal and the universal, expanding to hold multiple realities as they unfold simultaneously. Flames can destroy, but they can also cleanse—“like a loving fire / a burning desire.” A dream can obscure or clarify, be an escapist distraction or a vision of a better future. Onis due out September 27 via Lame-O Records. Listen to “In a Dream” and check out Trace Mountains’ upcoming tour dates below.
