{"product_id":"dreamweaver-3","title":"Dreamweaver","description":"\u003cp\u003eTrentemøller returns with a new full-length, \u003cem\u003eDreamweaver\u003c\/em\u003e. Featuring 10 tracks that traverse Trentemøller’s many musical strengths, \u003cem\u003eDreamweaver\u003c\/em\u003e also represents an obvious artistic leap, treading new ground while retaining the overall plot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTracks featuring vocals come courtesy of Iceland’s Disa, who has been in Trentemøller’s fold since the Memoria tour. \u003cem\u003eDreamweaver\u003c\/em\u003e's nylon string-led opening track, and first single from the album, \u003cem\u003e“A Different Light,”\u003c\/em\u003e contains many of Trentemøller’s trademarks: exploring dichotomies, musical shadowplay, Nordic frigidity, and warm waves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt opens the door for the steady, hypnotic \u003cem\u003e“Nightfall,”\u003c\/em\u003e with its tetherless vocal, wistful guitars, and early morning desert chill. The third track in the opening trifecta, \u003cem\u003e“Dreamweavers,”\u003c\/em\u003e finds its footing with a percussive soft trot, which starts after what feels like a shortwave radio scan in search of the right chords, eventually dialing in a weightless voice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOstensibly keeping a ruminative pace with the previous two tracks, the song and, by extension, album soon opens up as the rest of the elements drop into place with a grand, luxurious burst. \u003cem\u003eDreamweaver\u003c\/em\u003e is about to enter its next phase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith the hatch blown off of the portal, the noisy \u003cem\u003e“I Give My Tears,”\u003c\/em\u003e driven by its glissed and fuzzy bass line, pours into the void. It’s followed by its sibling, the most chaotic track on \u003cem\u003eDreamweaver\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003e“Behind My Eyes.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eArriving as a piece of noise rock pandemonium, \u003cem\u003e“Behind My Eyes”\u003c\/em\u003e can’t be contained in its plush vault. A whip-crack snare and convulsing guitars smash against each other in the song’s verse chamber. The tension builds, as the particles collide, pushing past the point of critical mass, kicking off the chain reaction which is the chorus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt times it harkens back to the proto-gaze tracks that gave birth to dream pop, at others it newly defines what that is. There’s no time to contemplate it, though, as the song disintegrates in a microphonic feedback instant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA respite follows with the somnambulistic pair of \u003cem\u003e“Hollow”\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003e“Empty Beaches.”\u003c\/em\u003e Then, a moment of intensity returns as the soaring textures and tribal drum bursts of \u003cem\u003e“In A Storm”\u003c\/em\u003e take control, before being taken out with the ambient slo-core of \u003cem\u003e“Winter’s Ghost”\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003e“Closure.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis diptych wraps up an album which certainly feels on-script for Trentemøller, but is also much more psychedelic than previous offerings. \u003cem\u003eDreamweaver\u003c\/em\u003e is released on Trentemøller’s own In My Room label. It is an exceedingly immersive experience, bound to release any dormant hallucinations you may be harboring.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"In My Room","offers":[{"title":"Clear LP","offer_id":50380213846347,"sku":"2202679","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Tape","offer_id":50380213584203,"sku":"2202678","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50380213125451,"sku":"2202677","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Dreamweaver_c036f2a9_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726210958","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/dreamweaver-3","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
