***"Small quantity available of Lore City’s second album, Kill Your Dreams, composed in the wake of Absence and Time. As summer receded into the Northeastern woods, the first songs to emerge were For You and Big Intersections. Then a familiar place beckoned, a pull to Chicago, returning different, both new and old at the same time. Sculpting the monastic from the raw foundations. Catching voices on the wind, moving across chasms, a knowing—glitter on, glitter on, glitter on the garbage. Recording with a trilogy of studios, between a revolving door of people and shows. Hearts soaring. Waiting on the line, suspended timing.

***Oneness. Whether you like it or not. Creeping up on you. Morse code tapping you on the shoulder. Runoff into the sea. A little bell ringing. Windchimes singing from forces unseen. I wanna believe. I animate these bones, for you. A paper skeleton on Halloween dangling from the front door. Animate, animate. Shuddering and twitching with your comings and goings. The thresholds we know. Everyone in their own little box, moving between containers. Remembering the orange glow of old sodium vapor streetlamps, and simultaneously, the terror of noticing that your heart is constantly beating. The fading roar of airplanes overhead, rerouted. Suddenly you can see the flashing red and white lights out of the corner of your eye, every night, from your bed.

***"A rare event happened in early 2020, something that occurs only once every 500 years. Saturn directly aligned with Pluto within the constellation of Capricorn. Essentially, hard lessons joined forces with transformational evolution regarding the infrastructure between the material and the spirit. I know you know. Queued up in a world of limbo and revolution, Lore City tunneled into new songs, finally sending Alchemical Task to press in the early summer days. By then, they were halfway through Participation Mystique. Original Feeling cleared the way, and by the time Buttons materialized with somber holiness, they knew it was finished. Another installment for the continuum, its contents esoterically encyclopedic."

***Alchemical Task (2020) is the third studio album from art rock duo Lore City, whose sound combines elements of psychedelia, post-rock, and dream pop. It has been six years since their last release, Kill Your Dreams. and subsequent move to Portland, Oregon. Lore City’s music is born from the transformational power of sound. They create from the belief that we are all one, and that we’ve been here before. Song fragments are shimmering all around us, ready to transport. They tune in and transcribe. Sonic soundscapes give way to archetypal figures and voices materialize. LP jackets are printed on reverse board stock—featuring two artworks by Nancy L Greco. The lyric sheet is printed on uncoated paper stock. The all-black vinyl LPs come in white poly-lined sleeves—and a download code is included.
