“With every act of creation there is also a kind of destruction, as you transform an idea into being. You are channeling, materializing the message. What do you hear? Sift through the Neptunian realm of dreams, illusions and ideals. Some may say it is only by traveling through the shadow of the soul that we can find the true light of our being. Others will try to sell you the consolation prize instead. There’s a castle in the distance, and a troll is waiting under the bridge. Even our most difficult moments come and go – we walk right through them. We remain spellbound in the thick of it.

This is Kill Your Dreams, composed in the wake of Absence and Time. As summer receded into the Northeastern woods, the first songs to emerge were For You and Big Intersections. Then a familiar place beckoned, a pull to Chicago, returning different, both new and old at the same time. Sculpting the monastic from the raw foundations. Catching voices on the wind, moving across chasms, a knowing – glitter on, glitter on, glitter on the garbage. Recording with a trilogy of studios, between a revolving door of people and shows. Hearts soaring. Waiting on the line, suspended timing.” — LMW
