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 Echo & the Bunnymen Ocean Rain Rock And Pop | 1972 | 1LP Released 28th September 2011 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Echo & the Bunnymen Ocean Rain £23.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: 1972 SKU: IF05 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 28th September 2011 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Cindy Why Not Now Rock And Pop | Tough Love | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 14th April 2023 £23.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Cindy Why Not Now £23.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Tough Love SKU: TLV163LP Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 14th April 2023 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Millionaire Sciencing Rock And Pop | Unday Records | 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 19th May 2017 £31.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Millionaire Sciencing £31.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Unday Records SKU: UNDAY063LP Formats: 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 19th May 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Collections Of Colonies Of Bees Giving Rock And Pop | Hometapes | 1LP Released 3rd October 2011 £15.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Collections Of Colonies Of Bees Giving £15.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Hometapes SKU: HT041LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 3rd October 2011 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jeff Beck Blow By Blow Rock And Pop | We Are Vinyl | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 25th September 2020 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jeff Beck Blow By Blow £23.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: We Are Vinyl SKU: 19439792331 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 25th September 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Makaya McCraven In These Times Rock And Pop | XL Recordings | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 23rd September 2022 £19.00 - £21.00 Select options Makaya McCraven In These Times £19.00 - £21.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: XL Recordings Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 23rd September 2022 Read More Select options View Product Quick View House Of Love, The Audience With The Mind Rock And Pop | Proper Records | 180g, 1LP Released 15th September 2023 £25.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations House Of Love, The Audience With The Mind £25.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Proper Records SKU: UMCLP057 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 15th September 2023 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Sarasara Elixir Rock And Pop | One Little Independent | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 1st March 2024 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Sarasara Elixir £25.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: One Little Independent SKU: TPLP1888LTD Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 1st March 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Fever Ray Plunge Rock And Pop | Rabid Records | 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 2nd March 2018 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Fever Ray Plunge £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Rabid Records SKU: RABID061T Formats: 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 2nd March 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View GAYLE A Study Of The Human Experience – Vol One & Two Rock And Pop | Atlantic | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 3rd March 2023 £36.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders GAYLE A Study Of The Human Experience – Vol One & Two £36.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Atlantic SKU: 0075678629174 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 3rd March 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Rock And Pop Start again
