Do you remember those teenage dreams?\u00a0 For some it may be a recent memory, for others, it’s somewhat more distant.\u00a0 To the latter, teen dreams exist simply as faint, fading memories –\u00a0 idylls, fantasises, hopes and nightmares, never to be lived or experienced, destined only to be ravaged and degraded by time.\u00a0 The nostalgia for lost teenage dreams is balanced by the fact that the actual shape and substance of those dreams can no longer be recalled – it’s simply a sense-memory, an instinctual belief that something has been lost, but with no recollection of what the ‘something’ actually is.\u00a0This mixtape somewhat boldy tries to capture that sense memory – a hankering for a past, refracted through the eyes of the future.\u00a0 Everything contained herein is stretched and strained over time, not so much hypnogogic as hypnotic, post-nostalgia – lulling us into the security of a place and time that is simultaneously familiar and unknown.\u00a0We drift from Roj<\/strong>‘s Ghost Box intro, to Salem<\/strong>‘s screwed goth-hop remix of Playboy Tre<\/strong> and Tan Dollar<\/strong>‘s funeral wedding march, projecting via White Rainbow<\/strong>‘s astral tones, Kharkov<\/strong>‘s elusive and ultimately unobtainable folk melody and A<\/strong>ncient Crux<\/strong>‘s dark pean to romantic longing, dripping with echoes of music from half a century ago.\u00a0It’s full of promise and mystery, yet it ultimately unsettles and perhaps never truly satisfies – the true mark of a real teenage dream. \u00a0\u00a0Stuart Buchanan<\/strong><\/p>\n
