Some people say it's the hope that kills you, but statistically dreams are responsible for a lot more casualties. The second album from the Icelandic supergroup of Sin Fang, Sóley and Örvar Smaragson not only acknowledges this but celebrates it. To dream is to slowly digest oneself from the inside. In January 2021 the team was reunited and have since then been writing, recording and releasing a new song every last Friday of each month, much like they did in 2018. Dream Is Murder is the result a collection of all 12 songs on one album. Sin Fang, Sóley and Örvar are all established performers, composers and producers in their own right, but their Team Dreams project is so much more than a sum of it's parts. Even though each of their individual fingerprints can be found all over the album, the result has a distinctive sound of it's own. The first three songs on the album display the diverse nature of the project, "Imaginary Love" is a catchy pop tune, "Calling For Your Touch" a sprawling cinematic ballad with hints of both Top Gun and Twin Peaks, then there is "Shame" a gut wrenching tragedy of being born into decay. "Where The Maps Run" was specially recorded for Amnesty International in Iceland and given as a part of Amnesty's 60 year anniversary. Artwork for each of the songs was conjured up by the one and only Ingibjörg Birgisdóttir and is as much a part of the whole as the music. Each song was accompanied by a resin sculpture with leftovers from dreams and daily life cast and preserved in with in it. The music takes up three sides of the double-LP and the fourth and final side holds an exquisite etching by Ingibjörg, depicting the artifacts within.
