Limited edition of 300 "White Mist" Vinyl - It Records 2021 Australia
BRAND NEW - Sealed
Life of the Inhabitant, is the second album from Australian / Melbourne duo Time For Dreams. Recorded on the low slopes of Geboor / Mt Macedon in the winter of 2019. The cold, the isolation and the dramatic landscape around the studio felt appropriate for Life of the Inhabitant, a bleak, dehydrated more sci-fi proposition than the band’s first album In Time (IT-LP-09). The new album was born from a desire to create something romantic. Not sexy, swoony romantic but “terrible/lonely/beautiful romantic, broken, defiant, tired, kind, quiet, strong and conflicted romantic” as Carlyon describes it, set in the ruins of the currently unfolding apocalypse.
“The musical scenes in my mind unfolded across the rooftops of a metropolis or in a desert, or on some other planet with half-buried electric cables glitching in the breeze, with zombie fires smouldering in the peatlands. In other words, expansive, overwhelming or limitless scenery, but viewed from a tiny window high up on the edge of the citadel. I pictured Amanda and I wrapped up in a secure bunker looking over all this in wonder and resignation.” -Tom Carlyon
* Did you know IT Records is a local indie label run by one of our staff? Long-time Dixons employee Kate Reid runs the label when she's not in the shop selling records for us. Here is a little bit about the label:
It Records is a niche independent label out of Melbourne Australia, with a unique roster that includes electronic, rock, pop and experimental artists, drawn from diverse genres with a “dark” bent (eg. Post- punk, darkwave, Leftfield, Psych Rock, neofolk, industrial, and synth-wave). Founded in 2014 the label is very much centred in the Melbourne underground scene, the label includes work from emerging artists as well as established and influential musicians. Drawing a parallel between what these artists are doing now and the influence of the music that has come out of the Melbourne and Australian underground in the past.
