Dreamery

Lt. Headtrip

2020

Dreamery is an unexpectedly whimsical album narrating his experience as a summer worker on an isolated tourist island. At the beginning of the album he was trying to catch the ferry to the island, and the island is its own recurring character throughout the the entire project.

Headtrip’s sketches of daily life weave in and out of producer, engineer and first-time collaborator C$Burns’ funky, psychedelic soundscape. The quirky, routine antics of the service industry, the panic of a tourist trap that suddenly loses cell phone service, and eccentric, drug-obsessed coworkers all find their way into Trip’s intricate web. The last line on the album is, “this island is a dream that does not belong to me.”
