Produced and recorded with long-term collaborator Erland Cooper, with orchestrations by Peel, both in their own, richly analogue studio in Shoreditch, London and at Attica Audio in County Donegal, Ireland, her new solo album Awake But Always Dreamingis a record about memory:the luminous and beautiful formation of memories and the devastating loss or slow, insidious damage to the mind. The album has the feel of a dream where all of daily life is being expressed and decoded, from feverish rush-hours to the old sunlight of her grandmothers fading memories. Peel switches between panoramic city images in Standing On The Roof Of The World and the dissolving, hallucinogenic moments that define the second half of the album.The albums closer is a cover of Paul Buchanans (The Blue Nile) Cars In The Garden which returns memory to childhood find the place that we forgot. Performed with her trademark music box and by way of a sublimely coaxed out, bittersweet duet with Hayden Thorpe from Wild Beasts, this is another fine shift in tone and perspective from the grandeur and chaos of tracks such as Foreverest to something very simple, surreal and yet utterly moving and memorable.
