Let It Come Down - Songs We Sang In Our Dreams (2020) [Hi-Res]

"Songs We Sang In Our Dreams" is oneiric by design, and therefore like one of the very greatest pop songs ever written, “In Dreams,” by Roy Orbison, the album not only wants to speak of dreams, it wants to speak from inside, to recreate the das unheimliche of the oneiric; in some ways this is beautifully obvious, the suite-like nature of the album, the gliding from one mood to another, the continuousness of the whole, the jump-cut like sudden eruption of new textures, the mystery of the psychedelic here, the appearance of drones and the sort of echo of Indian classical music that is a feature of the half-remembered or full-body psychedelic, but also because the psychedelic is from a dream that you dreamed. These are obvious resonances. And then there is the dream work as Freud described herein, the thing made of condensation and displacement. The songs sung in our dreams? Of what would these consist? Of feeling, above all, about the paralyzing clarity of emotions in dreams, or the unpredictability of feelings, how they can cycle through a whole buffet in a dream, and how the meaning of these feelings is sometimes uncanny, or misaligned with the manifest content of the dream, and how the meanings are buried underneath these totems of significance—this item right in front of us, this obelisk, seems to mean something, it’s a veritable household item, but why does it cause so much inconsolable weeping? Only concentration, and improvisation, and patience yield the answer, and Songs We Sang In Our Dreams invites this interpretive zeal, in its manner, both plain and considered, both obvious and devious, both bluntly sad and stylized, both borrowed and new, both song-oriented and not, both rock and roll and not, both masculine and feminine, both virtuosic and simple, and made (and released) in collaboration and via unalloyed isolation. Where did Kramer find the excellent Xan Tyler? Hidden in plain sight somewhere, making some completely different and more dance-oriented music, here employed to sing melodies completely unignorable and perspicacious, the lyrics come out of her mouth in a way that makes them into objects rather than words, the kinds of things we might see on a billboard in the process of being repainted..." - Rick Moody
