Dream Work, his third album as ░▐ ▌░ Dinner, is a lush collection of synth and guitar-laden indie ░▐ ▌░ pop that expertly channels Ryuichi Sakamoto, early British ░▐ ▌░ indie, and the sound of water. ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ Like most worthwhile pursuits, the path to Dream Work hasnÆt ░▐ ▌░ been straight. Rhedin spent his 20s playing in bands in his ░▐ ▌░ native Copenhagen (including the indie pop group Choir of ░▐ ▌░ Young Believers) before relocating to LA to pursue pop ░▐ ▌░ songwriting, an enterprise which he considers ôan unmitigated ░▐ ▌░ disaster.ö From this disaster, however, came the genesis of ░▐ ▌░ the Dinner project, which saw Rhedin self-releasing cassettes ░▐ ▌░ of his solo music while splitting his time between Berlin, LA ░▐ ▌░ and Copenhagen. His irreverent synth-based avant-pop was ░▐ ▌░ enough to attract attention, and in 2014 Rhedin signed to ░▐ ▌░ Captured Tracks, moved to LA full-time, and released a series ░▐ ▌░ of full length projects including Three EPs (2015), Psychic ░▐ ▌░ Lovers (2016), and New Work (2017). Over this period he also ░▐ ▌░ toured the world with the likes of Mac Demarco, Sean Nicholas ░▐ ▌░ Savage, Prince Rama, and King Gizzard. ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ In tandem with the progression of Dinner, Rhedin was also ░▐ ▌░ honing another skill - channeling his long standing personal ░▐ ▌░ interest in meditation and Jungian techniques into ambient ░▐ ▌░ production and guided meditation. After the release of New ░▐ ▌░ Work, he took a step back from the Dinner project in order to ░▐ ▌░ explore these avenues more seriously - returning to ░▐ ▌░ Copenhagen in the process. Over the last few years, heÆs ░▐ ▌░ released a series of ambient releases under his own name ░▐ ▌░ geared towards meditation, sleep, and relaxation. HeÆs also ░▐ ▌░ led live guided sound baths and meditations at art museums, ░▐ ▌░ churches, and rooftops all over the world. ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ The time away proved fruitful - returning to the Dinner ░▐ ▌░ project with fresh eyes, Rhedin sought not to reproduce his ░▐ ▌░ previous style, but rather to integrate these two components ░▐ ▌░ of his body of work. ôI think IÆve been working more like a ░▐ ▌░ sculptor less like a builder,ö he notes. ôIÆve just been ░▐ ▌░ chipping away at ideas until a song was left. Not so much ░▐ ▌░ trying to build something spectacular. I didnÆt know what I ░▐ ▌░ wanted to do, but I knew I didnÆt want to go back to how ░▐ ▌░ Dinner sounded before making the ambient albums. I knew that ░▐ ▌░ I kind of wanted to turn the old Dinner sound inside out. To ░▐ ▌░ go into that sonic universe but deconstruct it and rebuild ░▐ ▌░ it.ö As a result, Dream Work sounds at once classic and ░▐ ▌░ entirely new; a deft balance of RhedinÆs trademark ░▐ ▌░ electro-pop with the meditative and organic elements of his ░▐ ▌░ ambient work. ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ This delicate balance is also a reflection of the site of its ░▐ ▌░ creation - Rhedin recorded the album in Copenhagen during the ░▐ ▌░ fall/winter, almost exclusively at night: ôI rented a small ░▐ ▌░ studio in the off-hours. So I sat there at night a lot. IÆd ░▐ ▌░ walk around the empty streets for inspiration, have a coffee, ░▐ ▌░ and get to work. ThereÆs something beautiful about the world ░▐ ▌░ at night. EverythingÆs quiet.ö This sense of ease translates ░▐ ▌░ in the music - from the melancholy acoustic guitar and ░▐ ▌░ downtempo synth melody of ôSpirit Voicesö to the ethereal ░▐ ▌░ refrain on ôConnectionö, Rhedin washes his pop songwriting in ░▐ ▌░ dark, dreamy textures. These textures lend cohesion to the ░▐ ▌░ far-reaching collection - Dinner effortlessly floats from ░▐ ▌░ Stereolab-like electric guitar (ôAnimaö) to twinkling ░▐ ▌░ synth-pop (ôMidnight In My Headö) to fluid ambient (ôDr°mö) ░▐ ▌░ in the span of just 34 minutes. Contributions from labelmates ░▐ ▌░ Molly Burch and Charlie Hilton as well as Lina Tullgren, ░▐ ▌░ Nicolai Koch help bolster this quality: much like Rhedin ░▐ ▌░ himself, Dream Work feels well-traveled even when itÆs ░▐ ▌░ standing in place. ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ Though his influences may be vast in scope - ranging from ░▐ ▌░ Egyptian mythology to Japanese ambient to the experience of ░▐ ▌░ impending fatherhood (he recently welcomed his first child) - ░▐ ▌░ Rhedin is relatively uninterested in putting too much weight ░▐ ▌░ on intentions. ôWhat I like about ambient is that itÆs ░▐ ▌░ utilitarian. It serves a purpose....itÆs not about æmeÆ as an ░▐ ▌░ auteur or about my life story. ItÆs about the listenerÆs ░▐ ▌░ experience. And we meet in that space somehow. We hang out in ░▐ ▌░ that space together.ö ░▐ ▌░ More than any one sonic or lyrical element, this ethos is ░▐ ▌░ perhaps the most distinct marker between Dream Work and the ░▐ ▌░ previous Dinner catalog. Like a still reflection pool, we can ░▐ ▌░ only glimpse the depths by looking through ourselves. ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ ▄▄▄┌─────────────┐▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ░▐ ▌░ ▒▒▒│ marr │▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ ░▐ ▌░ └─────────────┘ ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ indie . pop . rock . shoegaze . dream . jangle . twee ░▐ ▌░ chamber . noise . c-86 . college . goth . post rock ░▐ ▌░ kraut . post punk . darkwave . alternative . lo-fi ░▐ ▌░ country . americana . folk . folk/rock . psychedelic rock ░▐ ▌░ progressive rock . metal . heavy metal . hair metal ░▐ ▌░ hard rock . math rock . grunge . classic rock . aor ░▐ ▌░ southern rock . west coast . punk rock . hardcore . garage ░▐ ▌░ avantgarde . classical . electronic . new wave . ambient ░▐ ▌░ synthpop . leftfield ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ░▌░ ░ █ █ ░ ░▐░ ▌░ ▓▓█ █▓▓ ░▐ ▌░ ░█ █░ ░▐ ▌░ █ ░ ▒ ░ ░ ▒ ░ █ ░▐ ░ ▌░██ ░ ▒█████░ ░█████▒ ░ ██░▐ ░ ▒ ░ ▌░█ ░ ███▓ ▓██ ▒ ▒ ██▓ ▓███ ░ █░▐ ░ ▒ ░██ ▌█▓ ████ █▒ ▒█ ████ ▓░▐ ██░ ░██████░ ███ █ █ ███ ░██████░ ██████ ███ █ █ ███ ██████ ▒███ ███▒ ██ █ █ ██ ▒███ ███▒ ████ ████████ ▒ █ █ ▒ ████████ ████ ████░ ███████░ ░░ █ █ ░░ ░███████ ░████ █████░ ████▒ ▒ ▓█ █▒ ▒█ █▓ ▒ ▒████ ░█████ █████░ ██████████ ███ █ █ ███ ██████████ ░█████ ▒██████ ░ ███████▒ ████▒▒█ █▒▒████ ▒███████ ░ ██████▒ ░ ███░ ███ ░ * █▓▓ ▓▓ ▓▓█ * ░ ███ ░███ ░ █░ ███ █░ *** * * █▒█▒▒██████▒▒█▒█ * * *** ░█ ███ ░█ ████ ██ * ████████ ████████ * ██ ████ ████████ * *** ░ ░██████ ██████░ ░ *** * ████████ █████ ** ░ ████ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ████ ░ ** █████ ▒█████████████▒▒ ░░ ░░ ▒▒█████████████▒ ░▓██████████▒ ░░ ░░ ▒██████████▓░ ▒█████ ░░ ░░ █████▒ ███ ███ ██ ██ ▒█ █▒ https://www.deezer.com/us/album/249131172
