About this product
I'm trying to document emotions, more than specific events and memories. I mean... that's what my music is at the end of the day - I'm just documenting. This is Lucy Liyou, the Philadelphia-based experimental musician behind cinematic sister LPs Welfare and Practice. Working in their Korean-American lineage and pulling from childhood memories, Liyou takes inspiration from Pansori (Korean Folk Opera), a style of Korean musical storytelling; and Korean drama soundtracks. Collaging text-to-speech (TTS) with their own voice, personal field recordings, audio samples from memes, Tumblr, and YouTube videos, synthesizers, and rich acoustic piano, Liyou creates their own distinct narrative.1) I'm Going to Therapy2) Unnie3) Who You Feed4) Some Form of Kindness5) You are every memory6) Uncle7) At the dinner table8) Easiest9) How to build an automaton10) Patron11) Hail mary12) September 5

Vinyl LP pressing. Bruno Berle, the young songwriter and poet originally hailing from Maceió, the capital of Brazil's Alagoas state, crafts songs that are simple, direct, and full of tender nuance. With his first album No Reino Dos Afetos (which translates to InchIn the Realm of AffectionsInch and was released in 2022), Berle firmly established himself as a unique and important voice in the burgeoning scene of new Brazilian artists making a global impact, including peers like Ana Frango Elétrico, Tim Bernardes, Bala Desejo, Sessa and more. Now back with his second album, No Reino Dos Afetos 2, he stretches that further.
Bringing together ambient music, impressionism, sound poetry, and jazz, Dog Dreams is a rumination on the doublesidedness of trauma and love, on how one does not undercut the other, but are rather interlocked in an affective dialectic. Although it's name comes from the literal translation of the Korean term Inch???Inch - which could mean anything from fanciful daydreams to nightmarish terrors, but always alluding to the idea that they are nonsensical, unrealistic, or simply silly - Lucy Liyou's sophomore album instead takes seriously these questions of why we dream what we dream, what slumber offers us that sober reality fails to, and which forgotten desires dare only emerge as our bodies go to rest.
