UPC: 5060918155013 Die To Wake Up From A Dream is MF Tomlinson's third studio album following the critically acclaimed 2021 debut Strange Time and 2023's We Are Still Wild Horses , which drew universal praise from Uncut, Mojo, The Times, The Line of Best Fit, and many more. An opus on human experience, new album Die To Wake Up From A Dream is an urgent and vivid description of the times in which we live. Modern in its production and outlook, shifting sands of organic and electronic soundscapes map the psychic geography of our (internal, external, online, spiritual) reality. Encompassing folk, shoegaze, art-rock, prog and orchestral traditions, the new album was produced by Tomlinson in his studio in Poplar, London. Meticulously captured one instrument at a time, Die To Wake Up From A Dream is a psychoacoustic odyssey of impossible proportions. From the grandeur of opener 'Blink & You'll Miss It', and the liminal landscapes of instrumental tracks 'A Dream' and 'A Meadow (Part I)' featuring Shovel Dance Collective's Jacken Elswyth, to the stormy, tumultuous 'Your Flight (Dying/Another Dream)' featuring vocals by Dry Cleaning's Florence Shaw, and the solemn beauty of 'I'm On The Border' - a poetic exploration of immigration and global unrest, the universe Tomlinson has created is hyper-real; the falling of a pin detectable in the midst of a raging storm at sea.
