Still Corners Share New Track & Video For "The Dream"

After recently announcing news of their sixth studio album, Dream Talk, that will see release on April 5th, 2024 via the band’s own label Wrecking Light Records, and sharing first track “Secret World”, today Still Corners have shared second single “The Dream” and its picturesque accompanying video.

“Are you sure that we are awake?  It seems to me that yet we sleep, we dream."  This quote from Shakespeare is the central theme for Still Corners new sonic masterpiece "The Dream", the latest single from their upcoming 6th Album Dream Talk.  Shakers and a lone rhythm guitar drop into a fast paced beat of bass and drums, gradually revealing the melodic voice of Tessa Murray on a train traveling at speed through a desert at night: "We are on a night train, heading to the east end.”  Shifting synths combine with a climactic build of congas gradually revealing a beautiful and epic tale of a "dream within a dream.”  The song finishes off with a crystalline guitar solo from her partner in crime Greg Hughes. This is Still Corners at their most seductive and romantic.  

The video is based on the duo's deep love of mystery novels and cozy crime fiction. Tessa Murray plays a new character called "Penelope Braithwaite" as she investigates the "Mystery of the Repeating Dream".  Folks from the fictitious town of "Reverwood, Sussex" have been falling into a repeating dream trap, when they wake up they realize they are in fact in the same dream.  Penelope arrives at a mysterious house to investigate.  Does she solve the mystery or is she too stuck in a looping dream?  The video is beautifully filmed in England by the band themselves and features steam trains and a dilapidated mansion set on vast gardens.
