Chris Forsyth hits the UK shore in August for a series of tour dates (details below) ahead of the releases of his new album with The Solar Motel Band. He’s set to perform at Green Man Festival, Sea Change Festival and Liverpool Psych Fest. His new album Dreaming In The Non-Dream is released on no quarter on August 25th. Listen to the epic and intense 16-minute title track below:
Dreaming In The Non-Dream is the follow-up to 2016’s acclaimed double album The Rarity of Experience, which The New York Times said was ” full of tense and dramatic jamming… [evoking] aspects of Miles Davis’s electric period and various kinds of rock-beyond-rock”. Dreaming is a tighter and briefer set, comprised of 4 songs, recorded in the fall of 2016. Forsyth says: “It was made very, very quickly and tracked entirely live with all the musicians in the room and just a few overdubs. I think reflecting on what was in the air while working on this – Brexit and then Trump’s election – I did not really have the patience or the desire to do something painstaking. I wanted to take that intensity that we were all feeling and put it on the record.”
