Catalog Number: FOF243LP Color: Black Format: LP UPC: 4062548086713 "Do you dream too?" Tomemitsu's Martin Roark asks on his sophomore album with Friends of Friends Music. The question is also what stemmed from the album title, Dream 2, a shorthand written in the lyrics. Dream 2 is quite possibly Tomemitsu's dreamiest LP, if not his most diverse. It is brimming with both new territory and nods to his past. This record reveals a more buoyant side to accompany his traditionally spaced out productions. Since his 2013 release of m_o_d_e_s, Tomemitsu has combined calm with chaos to create chilled out nuggets of pop containing an ear for ambience in odes to offbeat artists from genres of all sorts. "Creators like Thelonoius Monk, Joao Gilberto, Daniel Johnston, Brian Eno, Bill Withers, Arthur Russell... they were all immediately inspiring to me. I think I've come to appreciate the 'solo project'ness of tomemitsu without realizing how much i was nodding along to the loneliness of my favourite artists." says Roark. For Dream 2, Tomemitsu also added a slew of analog and digital gear, processors and synthesizers, to his private Laveta Loca studio elevating the aural output from his hyper lo-fi origins.
