Effervescent producer/DJ/singer-songwriter duo Eli & Fur formally unveil their sophomore album Dreamscapes – an explorative odyssey that transports listeners to a realm where the ethereal dances with the actual, and the impossible vibrates within reach – alongside its focal track ‘Heart Made of Glass’.
From Eli & Fur: “”Heart Made Of Glass’ is a song about throwing caution to the wind and going all in on a feeling without hesitation. Surrendering and being captivated by someone and the journey that unfolds from that. It started with just the vocal idea and guitars and we built up the musical elements around it so it made sense in our DJ sets. It moves between the emotional hook and the club elements… a journey we feel reflects the feeling of letting go when falling in love.”
The second album by the London-born, LA-based duo, unfolds itself in the introspective, yet transformative spaces that come alive between the hours of dusk and dawn. In this nocturnal interlude, the veil between self and surroundings grows thin and time suddenly stands still. As the outside world fades away a sense of solace and sanctuary sets in, opening the door for the ordinary to give way to the extraordinary. An electrifying opus that tempts the intricate interplay of thoughts and emotions, Dreamscapes is a 15-track homage to the cathartic musings of our most solitary wanderings of all corners of the night and the flashes in between.
Transcending the traditional listening experience, this latest body of work further affirms Eli & Fur’s unparalleled ability to harmonize diverse musical elements with universally connective themes. More than an album, Dreamscapes is a feeling. It’s the resounding buzz of a night in Paris spent reminiscing under the stars. It’s the excitement and trepidation of wondering what awaits you on the next horizon. It’s the lingering euphoria of missing someone you love and it’s a solo cab ride home from a night out, chasing the sunrise as the first light of dawn approaches.
Rooted in over a decade of unwavering collaboration, this meticulously curated anthology unveils the next evolution of Eli & Fur’s sound, simultaneously revealing their most authentic expression to date. Each composition introduces a new – yet familiar – sensation to be discovered, offering a poignant demonstration of their songwriting prowess, artistic range and technical expertise. Through a fusion of their own hauntingly beautiful vocals and lyrics that resonate long after the music has stopped, the multi-disciplinary duo captivate the senses as they traverse the intricate dance of reality and reverie, masterfully navigating the edges of this lucid dream.
Previous LP singles ‘Insomnia’, ‘Golden Eyes and Tears’, ‘My Reflection’ (which bejeweled their Cercle Festival Paris secret sets) and ‘Monsters’ have already garnered praise from tastemakers inc. Numéro, Billboard, Mixmag, BBC 6 Music, SiriusXM, DJ Mag, KCRW and BBC Radio 1. A testament to their standing as fixtures on some of the world’s most prestigious stages including the likes of Coachella, Printworks and Tomorrowland, the album will also be accompanied by a 3-date headline live tour that will distill their palpable chemistry and entrancing sound into an exclusive run of performances in New York, Los Angeles and London.
