A distinct departure from Sawhney’s previous 9 studio albums, Dystopian Dream focuses on Sawhney’s familiar motifs of personal identity and swooping world-views, but this time driven by more cathartic themes of loss, isolation, surrender and perseverance. Featuring a bluesier, darker, more contemporary influence, the album is a modern homage to Massive Attack’s classic “Protection” album in its eclecticism and production values. Besides the customary virtuosic instrumentals, this is a true singer’s album, featuring a blistering blues-rock earth-shaker on first single ‘When I’m Gone’ with powerful young vocalist Stealth, a hypnotically husky performance from teenage newcomer J’Danna, “BBC Introducing” graduate, Eva Stone, and a drum ‘n’ bass turn from Joss Stone. Virtually all of Sawhney’s acclaimed band and singers also feature, fresh from this year’s televised performance at the Latitude Festival and last year’s sell out show at The Royal Albert Hall. A gut-wrenching bird’s eye perspective on world events distilled into a personal epiphany, Dystopian Dream origins lie in the loss of Sawhney’s father in 2013 and the deaths of several friends and mentors. Says Sawhney, “I became increasingly disillusioned with the hypocritical world of politics, with immigrants (like my parents) once more being scapegoated and austerity measures being used to bludgeon the poorest and most vulnerable sections of society. I found these feelings of despair about political and social injustices being blamed on immigrants were being amplified constantly in the news.” “It would be easier to jot down what this man can’t do than what he can” - The Guardian

Scape. - 放着这张专辑当背景音乐的时候,酒店房间的床头灯坏了,叫了个人来修,我坐在黄昏窗边玩手机。

看完這個戲從劇場出來,下了半天的雨已經停了,街道像被擰乾的毛巾,倒映不出任何顏色。想到Yasmina今天說的話,“二字打頭的十年是和自己的一場較量,應從這場博弈中找到自己。” 反烏托邦夢想,大概就是我找到自己的啟蒙老師吧,很多事情突然就知道怎麼做了。激動地想在觀眾席裡大哭,還是忍住了,出來立刻買了CD,我的夢想永動機。
