Mark Peters - Red Sunset Dreams (2022) Hi Res

Like its predecessor, 'Red Sunset Dreams' is an album about an imaginary landscape. Whereas 'Innerland' was an introspective psychogeographic trip inspired by Mark's move back to his hometown of Wigan and the memories it stirred up, 'Red Sunset Dreams' looks outwards, across the Atlantic to the United States of America, but very much through a UK prism; a representation of the subconscious americana that's buried deep in our collective psyches. The result is an incredibly evocative trip through the landscapes of old Western movies, exploring their links with the North West of England while touching on wider themes such as isolation, freedom and dementia. Sonically, it builds on the palette of the previous record with instrumentation equally inspired by the ascendant ambient americana movement and classic country-rock.
