We hand over words, instruments, and rhythms - trading back and forth until everything belongs to both of us. Until we are indistinguishable. ' - Lore City Small quantity available of Lore City's second album, 'Kill Your Dreams," composed in the wake of 'Absence and Time. " To me, this has an edgier sound than their more recent albums - sort of their "Garlands" (to put it into Cocteau Twins terms), as compared to say, "Victorialand. " Fun fact... Kim Keever, who contributed the front/back cover artwork, also did Joanna Newsom's 'Divers' LP (Drag City)! But Lore City were first! 'Lore City begins "Kill Your Dreams" (2014) with a challenge: "Go back to the old haunts... ," from the opening track, "Gone Past," (the longest track on the record), as if, like detectives, we have to look at the evidence first before we decide. Many of the eight songs on this record feel like time travel - warnings or laments - from a time when it might have been easier to tune out the terrible noise. From the 2014 vantage point, as lived today, maybe "Kill Your Dreams" is less about the death of "dreams," perhaps, than about the death of nostalgia, perhaps even more...

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.

Hearts soaring. Waiting on the line, suspended timing.
