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 Wedding Present, The Tommy Rock And Pop | PIAS | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 11th October 2019 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Wedding Present, The Tommy £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: PIAS SKU: PIASR456LP Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 11th October 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Hoops Tapes #1-3 Rock And Pop | Fat Possum | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 17th November 2017 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Hoops Tapes #1-3 £26.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Fat Possum SKU: FP16441 Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 17th November 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Laura Stevenson Cocksure Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Don Giovanni | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 30th October 2015 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Laura Stevenson Cocksure £16.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Don Giovanni SKU: LPDG105 Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 30th October 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Traffic When The Eagle Flies Rock And Pop | Island | 1LP Released 4th May 2023 £12.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Traffic When The Eagle Flies £12.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Island SKU: nn262947 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 4th May 2023 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Kate Bush Kate Bush Remastered in Vinyl 2 Rock And Pop | Fish People | 4LP, Box Set Released 12th November 2018 £86.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Kate Bush Kate Bush Remastered in Vinyl 2 £86.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Fish People SKU: 0190295593957 Formats: 4LP, Box Set Released Date: 12th November 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View AhGeeBe Chin Up, Chief Rock And Pop | Bubblewrap Records | 1LP Released 27th October 2023 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders AhGeeBe Chin Up, Chief £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Bubblewrap Records SKU: BWR074 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 27th October 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View M Craft Bloodmoon Rock And Pop | Heavenly | 1LP, Includes CD Released 14th June 2016 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders M Craft Bloodmoon £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Heavenly SKU: HVNLP128 Formats: 1LP, Includes CD Released Date: 14th June 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View She Drew The Gun Behave Myself Rock And Pop | Submarine Cat Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 11th February 2022 £22.00 Select options She Drew The Gun Behave Myself £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Submarine Cat Records Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 11th February 2022 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Frank Turner Love, Ire & Song Rock And Pop | Xtra Mile | 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 29th May 2018 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Frank Turner Love, Ire & Song £23.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Xtra Mile SKU: XMR135LPG Formats: 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 29th May 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Sara Bareilles The Blessed Unrest Rock And Pop | Epic | 180g, 2LP, Includes Download Code Released 10th September 2013 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Sara Bareilles The Blessed Unrest £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Epic SKU: AEPI72290 Formats: 180g, 2LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 10th September 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Rock And Pop Start again
