Download from Bandcamp

Heavy-weight, matte cover.

Includes unlimited streaming of Your Dream is a Stone via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more. An LP of outré folk about trying to find meaning and solidarity under the legacies of empire, environmental collapse, and neoliberal atomization.

Arrangements are spare, focused on the matter-of-fact melancholia of Eleanore Everdell’s voice and Jason Friedman’s knotted finger-picking. These elements are additionally fractured and multiplied through on-the-fly looping and filtering techniques. Attuned to the specificity of time and place, other sounds are kept close and the performances open to chance. Urban/natural landscapes, the whorl of hissing tape-machines and dirty circuits texture lithe mono-synths and submerged 808s.

With drifting melodies, ambient passages, spoken word, and touches of live percussion and piano, the forty-two-minute album stretches-out across eight tracks loosely indebted to the disparate lineages of 60s electronic psychedelia, DADA, avant-jazz and YMG post-punk. Heady, emotionally immediate and with a nakedly Leftist core,

Your Dream is a Stone posits kin and community as bulwark to the cruelties of capital and looming armageddon.

Eleanore Everdell and Jason Friedman signed to Warp Records not long after recording their first song and have been making music together ever since. On Warp, they released the “This Desert EP", (2010) S/T LP (2010), “Red Night” (2012), and 4 singles featuring remixes from Andy Stott, Patten & Kyle Hall. In 2018, they released the LP Love in the Black Stack on their own imprint, New Ancestors.
