Dreaming features eleven new tracks telling the story of a patient undergoing tests to diagnose what is killing him. As he fades in and out of consciousness, each song reveals a different past trauma or potential cause of his illness. Themes of estrangement and abuse, crises of faith, and sleep paralysis percolate to the surface. Obol vocalist Barry Craig describes the album as “more melodic and haunting” than 2013’s comparatively upbeat Revoluçión. Dreaming features guitars by Jun Mantrano, plus drums from Will Tooker and long-time collaborator Jeremy Maher.
