Title: Radio TripleRRR Melb - Win Vinyl copy of Album Of The Week Dreamer/Closes 7/5 Post by: oldfellow on Wednesday 03 May 2023, 09:09:12 pm https://www.rrr.org.au/subscriber-giveaways/nabihah-iqbal-dreamer
Closes 7 May 2023, 11 pm Vinyl copy of Album Of The Week "DREAMER" Dreamer is the second full length album from UK electronic producer-songwriter, radio broadcaster and curator Nabihah Iqbal, out now on Ninja Tune via Inertia Music. Dreamer is the result of a tumultuous few years for Iqbal that saw her studio broken into with two years worth of music lost, followed by a sudden trip to Pakistan after the death of her grandfather, resulting in an extended stay due to the COVID lockdowns. What followed was a musical response to the trauma of that period, resulting in a collection of crucial songs that feel both poignant and sparkling all at once. Iqbal achieves a sort of musical catharsis through her unique blend of haunting dream pop, ambient soundscapes and hypnotic dance rhythms, which coalesce into a sound that expertly references musical history while slyly circumventing nostalgia. The brilliant conceit of Dreamer is its ability to envelop you in its familiarity, while patiently building a patchwork of new sounds that emphasise emotional release – giving the music the sort of depth and richness only possible through the deft hand of someone with Iqbal's knowledge and prowess.
