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 Prima Donna Nine Lives & Forty-Fives Rock And Pop | Alive | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 2nd January 2018 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Prima Donna Nine Lives & Forty-Fives £18.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Alive SKU: LPALIVE0166 Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 2nd January 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View DMAs Hills End Rock And Pop | Infectious | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 26th February 2016 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders DMAs Hills End £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Infectious SKU: 4050538186468 Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 26th February 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Rilo Kiley Rilo Kiley Rock And Pop | Little Record Company | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released 20th November 2020 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Rilo Kiley Rilo Kiley £21.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Little Record Company SKU: LPLRC017 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 20th November 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Kitty, Daisy & Lewis Smoking In Heaven Rock And Pop | Sunday Best Recordings | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 17th November 2023 £32.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Kitty, Daisy & Lewis Smoking In Heaven £32.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sunday Best Recordings SKU: SBESTLP44P Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 17th November 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Matt's picks View Product Quick View Charlatans, The The Charlatans Rock And Pop | Beggars Banquet | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 8th October 2021 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Charlatans, The The Charlatans £26.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Beggars Banquet SKU: BBL174LP2 Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 8th October 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Your Heart Breaks The Wrack Line Rock And Pop | Kill Rock Stars | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 7th July 2023 £29.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Your Heart Breaks The Wrack Line £29.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Kill Rock Stars SKU: LPKRS737C Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 7th July 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Silver Apples Contact Rock And Pop | Jackpot Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 17th November 2017 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Silver Apples Contact £26.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Jackpot Records SKU: JPR045LP Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 17th November 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Leonard Cohen Live at the Isle Of Wight Festival 1970 Rock And Pop | Sony Legacy | 2LP, Includes Download Code Released 23rd November 2017 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Leonard Cohen Live at the Isle Of Wight Festival 1970 £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sony Legacy SKU: 88697570701 Formats: 2LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 23rd November 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Buffalo Tom Birdbrain Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Situation Two | 1LP Released 20th July 2022 £14.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Buffalo Tom Birdbrain £14.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Situation Two SKU: nn246501 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 20th July 2022 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Bevis Frond, The The Long Stuff Rock And Pop | Blue Matter Records | 2LP Released 14th July 2023 £28.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Bevis Frond, The The Long Stuff £28.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Blue Matter Records SKU: LOBE006LP Formats: 2LP Released Date: 14th July 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Rock And Pop Start again
