"A mysterious object is revealed; the drum sound of the rite arouses; fares are blazing; the soul slides through water's surface; the breath lights up the air; the body as a sacrifice, I hear myself, in this dream".

The 12 songs that constitute Dreams, the third full-length from the Kaohsiung trio Elephant Gym, explore the deep spacetime continuum that consciousness cannot capture. Beyond the trio's staple instrumentation of guitar, bass, and drum-set, Dreams blends in wind instruments, traditional drums, and Taiwanese narrative. Through collaboration with Hakka singer-songwriter Lin Sheng Xiang and pop musician 9m88, notable for their accomplishments in jazz, soul, and R&amp;B, Dreams is a sweeping narrative about a fantastical dream that crosses the boundary. After pressing play, please do close your eyes, and enjoy the dream.
