The songs on \u003ci\u003eDream Hunting in the Valley of the In-Between\u003c\/i\u003e, Man Man’s first album in over six years and their Sub Pop debut, are as intimate, soulful, and timeless as they are audaciously inventive and daring, resulting in his best Man Man album to date. \u003cbr\u003eThe 17-track effort, featuring \u003ci\u003eCloud Nein, Future Peg, On the Mend Sheela\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eAnimal Attraction,\u003c\/i\u003e was produced by Cyrus Ghahremani, mixed by S.

He worked in music supervision and on scores (The Exorcist, Superdeluxe, Do You Want to See a Dead Body?). He acted in the indie film Woe (“I played a park ranger, a nice guy in a sad movie.”), So It Goes, a short musical film with Mary Elizabeth Winstead, and starred in the award-winning tour documentary Use Your Delusion. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the midst of this surreal exile from Man Man, Honus began piecing together what would become \u003ci\u003eDream Hunting in the Valley of the In-Between\u003c\/i\u003e. He recruited longtime-collaborator Cyrus Ghahremani to help him produce. Written in a friend’s LA guesthouse that had “an old upright piano, a thrift store lamp, and nothing else,” it was an arduous, three-and-a-half-year process, “I had chord progressions that looked like chicken scratch and lyrics on pieces of paper stuck all over the walls. It looked like I was about to break the big case, catch the killer,” he says, laughing. “There was a lot of self-doubt, fighting the urge to throw in the towel. It wasn’t fun but it definitely forced the best album of my career out of me. Sometimes you just gotta tear it all down to rebuild things the right way. Trust the process.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sub Pop","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP | x2","offer_id":50448039706955,"sku":"1088361","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pink | LP | x2","offer_id":50448039248203,"sku":"1088362","price":32.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50448040198475,"sku":"1088359","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/962dd53a-e7e3-4fb6-b86e-a422704fe625_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727085473","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/dream-hunting-in-the-valley-of-the-in-between","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
