Alice Boman - Dreams - 7-INCH SINGLE [7 inch Vinyl Disc]

Haunted Swedish songwriter Alice Boman returns from a self-imposed musical exile following a triumphant run of early releases. Penned on her grandparents old piano with nothing but a handheld voice recorder, 2013's Skisser EP and 2014's EP II, were pieced together in the sanctum of her teenage home. The tastemaker music press immediately latched onto these honest, barebones depictions of emotional fragility that documenting her innermost emotions. Three years later, wanting to try something bigger and record in a proper studio, she took forty sketches out to a countryside retreat to whittle down, and emerged with Dream On, her first full-length album and her strongest, most emotionally potent work to date.

This CD contains songs from two separate performances recorded in June 1967 in Manchester, England. The first show features Wilson with Randy Colville, Ian Taylor and Dave Edwards. The second show features Wilson with Dave Shepherd, Ronnie Gleaves, Peter Chapman and Johnny Richardson.

Swedish songwriter Alice Boman has been thinking about space a lot lately. The silence between sounds, the unspoken bonds between humans, the enormity of the universe and her place within it. You can follow these mini epiphanies on her stunning new album, The Space Between. Ruminating on intimacy and existential angst, to listen is to hear Boman's thoughts unfurl in real time, her quiet contemplations cocooned in sympathetic arrangements created in collaboration with producer Patrik Berger (Robyn, Lana Del Rey). Berger also produced her 2020 debut album, Dream On, which received widespread praise for it's immersive yet startlingly-intimate soundscapes. The Space Between sees Boman working with a broader palette than that of Dream On, imbued with an enveloping warmth which radiates from her gossamer-light vocals. For InchFeels Like A DreamInch, additional vocals were provided by Perfume Genius, a collaboration that came about via Instagram and was recorded at a distance. It's a journey she hopes listeners will share in, finding comfort in community. Because as Boman knows all too well, when life gets too much, there's always music.
