Justin Walter “Dream Weaving”

15 Apr 2013 — Andrew Wagner

Justin Walter's forthcoming debut for Kranky has the seemingly paradoxical title of Lullabies and Nightmares. Our first taste of that album, "Dream Weaving", begins to answer how a song could simultaneously occupy such disparate spaces. With its ethereal ambient loop, "Dream Weaving" is mostly lullaby, but some rougher and noisier synths bring a shade of darkness to the song. "Dream Weaving" slowly builds over the course of its five minutes, adding in a drum line and increasingly complex synth riffs which only heighten the beauty of the track.
