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 Melanie De Biasio No Deal Rock And Pop | PIAS | 180g, 1LP, Includes CD Released 28th April 2014 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Melanie De Biasio No Deal £16.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: PIAS SKU: PIASR690LP Formats: 180g, 1LP, Includes CD Released Date: 28th April 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Elf Power Elf Power Rock And Pop | Orange Twin Records | 1LP Released 16th September 2010 £11.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Elf Power Elf Power £11.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Orange Twin Records SKU: OTR039LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 16th September 2010 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Hollywoood Vampires LIVE IN RIO Rock And Pop | Earmusic | 180g, 2LP Released 2nd June 2023 £32.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Hollywoood Vampires LIVE IN RIO £32.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Earmusic SKU: 0218482EMU Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 2nd June 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Warren Zevon A Quiet Normal Life: The Best of Warren Zevon Rock And Pop | Rhino | 1LP Released 26th August 2016 £13.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Warren Zevon A Quiet Normal Life: The Best of Warren Zevon £13.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Rhino SKU: 0081227944254 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 26th August 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young Deja Vu (Atlantic 75 Series) (SACD) Rock And Pop | Analogue Productions (Atlantic 75 Series) | SACD Released 25th December 2025 £45.00 Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young Deja Vu (Atlantic 75 Series) (SACD) £45.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Analogue Productions (Atlantic 75 Series) SKU: CAPA 020 SA Formats: SACD Released Date: 25th December 2025 Read More Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Laetitia Sadier Rooting For Love Rock And Pop | Duophonic Super 45s | 1LP Released 23rd February 2024 £21.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Laetitia Sadier Rooting For Love £21.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Duophonic Super 45s SKU: DS33LP62 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 23rd February 2024 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Various Artists Smash Hits The 80s Rock And Pop | Rhino | 2LP Released 13th October 2017 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Various Artists Smash Hits The 80s £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Rhino SKU: 0190295753429 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 13th October 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Strokes, The First Impressions Of Earth Rock And Pop | Sony Music | 1LP Released 24th February 2023 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Strokes, The First Impressions Of Earth £25.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sony Music SKU: 19439868801 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 24th February 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Santana Santana IV Rock And Pop | Santana IV Records | 2LP Released 13th April 2016 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Santana Santana IV £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Santana IV Records SKU: S40071 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 13th April 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Steve Miller Band Sailor Rock And Pop | UMC | 180g, 1LP Released 18th May 2018 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Steve Miller Band Sailor £18.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: UMC SKU: 6723910 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 18th May 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Rock And Pop Start again
