After 2022’s In Every Dream Home a Heartache, Romance and Dean Hurley return with River of Dreams; continuing their prismatic dissection of the daytime soap genre with an examination into the dark corners of fantasy-based escapism. 

Over the last 60+ years, serialized melodramas have played a critical role in shaping the way we think about, consume, and are affected by media. The daytime televised soap opera has without a doubt laid the fundamental architecture for contemporary dopamine capitalists’ dreams of harvested, monetized attention…and River of Dreams explores the psychological effects on the mind of its viewers. Whereas In Every Dream Home a Heartache spotlighted the external omnipresence of daytime tv’s persistent broadcasts, River of Dreams examines the interior havoc and mental unbalance sewn by obsessive viewership. The same waters that harvest and transport our buoyant dreams often funnel into nightmarish, tumultuous oceans… 

Once again, broadcast television samples by way of vintage, bit-crunched YouTube codecs form the source material here…all artfully inlaid and mosaicked to form tear-stained compositions of troubled romance gone astray.

Kilou "Clinky Breath" [ICO13] 

Bandcamp/streaming https:/song.link/clinkybreath 

"This project consists of songs from the last one or two years and describes the longing for warmth and at the same time feeling comfort in the melancholy of winter. Sunbeams melting away the snow and blades of grass appearing underneath, but you can hardly see anything through the glittering mist of your breath. It is freezing cold,"

Dayrealease "Revery Intuition" [AD006]

"Inspired by baroque, free jazz, dubstep, and early rave. Fairytale melodies, crafted on a MacBook Air, intertwine with sheer reality, expressed through self-captured ZOOM field recordings and cuts from foley sample libraries. orchestral instruments and melodic bass create almost nervous, excessively emotional condition, taken placidly as if in a meditative state, with help of ASMR-like experimental drum patterns."

Dayrealease - Will I Let Me Go

never ending fantasy

with the charging sky above and a ground that could swallow every one of us

Truth. American history Y. Inspired by Fictionalive No More Questions. This one is trance electro with  samples from Detroit 66. It's a stab with satire looking at the absurdity of American culture with respect to American culture. Think Pastiche, Dada-esque sound scape that paints a picture of the generation that we are, the struggles we come from, the turbulence we rise above, and the challenges we have yet to deal with. How do we cope? We are here. Now.  The past is a myth, the future does not exist, the presence is a gift. We follow our passions and stay the course.  We focus and hold no bars.  How do we survive? By perseverance.
