It's been four years since Car and Freezer,
a time during which Eiko has been steadily
working, writing for stage and cinema, playing
live and recording (and hanging out with her
no-goodnik boyfriend!). In 2016, she toured
Europe and released Kouen Kyoudai (Editions
Mego), a collaboration with Masami Akita.
At Sinnerfama Lisbon later that year, she won
the Best New Music Award for her soundtrack
to The Albino's Trees. On The Dream My Bones Dream, as with
Eiko's previous albums, the diverse sounds
within the musical arrangement and the qualities
of Jim O'Rourke's mix (off the couch and
mixing again!) are crucial to the achievement.
The Dream My Bones Dream is a record of exquisite
musicality and deep emotions, a travelogue
pointed towards a time hopefully better
than the future we see coming down the line!
Any eventuality where we can listen to The
Dreams My Bones Dream would be preferable
to that one
