Things They Saw Before They Opened Their Eyes

The marvelously alien sound of Eartheater

During the first segment of Jim Jarmusch’s Coffee and Cigarettes made in 1986, Steven Wright describes the strange way he consumes coffee to Roberto Benigni.

I drink a lot of coffee before I go to sleep. So I can dream faster. I can dream, like when they put a camera on the Indy 500… when they put a camera in the car, and it’s just whipping by like that. Dream after dream after dream after dream. People ask me the next day, what did you dream about? I say, I don’t have time. I don’t have time to tell you this.

Yours sincerely has been under a similar rush of dreams as of late. Whether they are the work of a Freudian psych factory or just a mishmash of high school, the face of a celebrity being replaced by a coffee mug, the late grandpa’s front porch, and other peculiar transformations and morph functions our stupid brains direct, they happen so fast and more importantly, they have soundtracks! They have a score that helps elevate the hypnagogia.

Anyhow, this one latest dream-packed night felt the psychedelic brush of Eartheater from her 2015 album RIP
