Art in America - Dreams Of The Disappeared

Art in America returns with Dreams of the Disappeared - the next chapter in one of progressive rock's most remarkable stories. The album pushes further into the rich musical territory the band first began exploring decades ago. For songwriter Chris Flynn, the album's title reflects both it's musical structure and it's deeper philosophical themes. "These songs morph together as dreams often do. They contain a continuing thread or theme, again a definition of dreams. And in a larger sense, we prepare for the infinite, our disappearance, by defining the finite, our Dreams of the Disappeared." That dream-like continuity flows throughout the album, where melodies evolve organically and individual songs feel like chapters within a larger musical narrative. The band's distinctive identity remains intact, led by the unmistakable sound of Shishonee Flynn's harp - still one of the most original instruments in progressive rock. Dreams of the Disappeared, Art in America's fourth album and their second release over consecutive years, represents the continuation of a creative journey interrupted by circumstance rather than inspiration. Some dreams disappear. Others simply wait to be heard.
