The album includes dense harmonic arrangements of synthesizer, guitar, piano, percussion, field recordings, tape loops and Karima’s dulcet singing voice. The final result is a 40-minute dream-narrative of her conscious and subconscious minds that oscillates between the rich textures of her ambient work and the melody and poetry of her melancholic, Americana-tinged songwriting, their ebb and flow recalling liminal states of half-sleep where images and emotions are recalled and forecasted from the previous night’s dreams. Night falls in regular intervals throughout the album, forming a natural dialogue between waking and dreaming. Landscape has always played a huge role in her work. Throughout Waking the Dreaming Body, Walker’s uncanny sound design evokes the delicacy, grandeur and terrifying enormity of the American Southwest. Close your eyes while listening to “Horizon, Harbor Resonance,” the thirteen-minute instrumental at the album’s center, and watch the shifting desert landscape in your mind’s eye; from the babble of flash flood runoff to the slow parade of cumulus cloud shadows across the red earth, cactus and creosote, and then, moving backwards in time, the thunderous eruptions of ancient volcanoes that pushed the Tucson Mountains skyward. As indicated by the video for ‘Reconstellated’, Waking the Dreaming Body holds a deep connection to the environs in which it was created, the delicacy, grandeur and terrifying enormity of the American Southwest. The mountains, rivers and starry skies of Walker’s desert home are referenced in nearly every song she sings on the album, simultaneously grounding the action and imbuing it with a sense of otherworldliness. “A perfect balance of beauty and abstraction” Mojo “Exquisitely crafted” GoldFlakePaint “Hands in Our Names illustrates what she does best as a composer: She looks at the familiar from different angles, and stares intently at everything until it feels new again” 7.4 Pitchfork Artist Karima Walker Genre Rock And Pop Label Keeled Scales Buying Options 1LP , 1LP Coloured Vinyl Format 1LP , Coloured Vinyl Condition New Country UK Track Listings Reconstellated Softer Interlude Window I Window II Horizon, Harbor Resonance Waking the Dreaming Body For Heddi Uncovering Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Rock And Pop View Product Quick View Adult Jazz So Sorry So Slow Rock And Pop | Spare Thought | 2LP Released 26th April 2024 £27.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Adult Jazz So Sorry So Slow £27.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Spare Thought SKU: SPTH003LP Formats: 2LP Released Date: 26th April 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Lisa Hannigan Passenger Rock And Pop | Hoop Records | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 11th November 2016 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Lisa Hannigan Passenger £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Hoop Records SKU: LHLP002 Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 11th November 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Dean Blunt Black Metal Rock And Pop | Rough Trade | 2LP Released 3rd November 2014 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Dean Blunt Black Metal £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Rough Trade SKU: RTRADLP725 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 3rd November 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View She & Him Volume Two Rock And Pop | Merge Records | 1LP Released 8th October 2021 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders She & Him Volume Two £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Merge Records SKU: MRG354LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 8th October 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Flipper Public Flipper Limited Live 80/85 Rock And Pop | 4 Men With Beards | 180g, 2LP Released 10th August 2016 £32.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Flipper Public Flipper Limited Live 80/85 £32.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: 4 Men With Beards SKU: 4M515DLP Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 10th August 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Hand Habits Sugar The Bruise Rock And Pop | Fat Possum | 12", EP/Mini Album Released 16th June 2023 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Hand Habits Sugar The Bruise £21.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Fat Possum SKU: FP18231 Formats: 12", EP/Mini Album Released Date: 16th June 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Tilly and the Wall Heavy Mood Rock And Pop | Team Love | 1LP Released 1st October 2012 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Tilly and the Wall Heavy Mood £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Team Love SKU: TL54LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 1st October 2012 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Saints, The (I’m) Stranded Rock And Pop | 4 Men With Beards | 180g, 1LP Released 10th August 2016 £32.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Saints, The (I’m) Stranded £32.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: 4 Men With Beards SKU: 4M502LP Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 10th August 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Roachford Twice In A Lifetime Rock And Pop | BMG Records | 180g, 1LP Released 3rd April 2020 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Roachford Twice In A Lifetime £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: BMG Records SKU: 4050538589559 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 3rd April 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Blitzen Trapper VII Rock And Pop | Lojinx | 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 30th September 2013 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Blitzen Trapper VII £16.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Lojinx SKU: LJX062LP Formats: 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 30th September 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Rock And Pop Start again
