Happy 1st birthday Fever Dreams ✨🎉✨ Fever dreams take me right back to the start / It’s a part of the healing so I guess that I’ll give it a whirl / Fever dreams take me right back to the start / To the heart of the embryo of pictures of the floating world ✨
Hearing that Villagers new album Fever Dreams is very close to reaching Number 1 in the Irish Chart this week, so if you're planning on purchasing / streaming / playing on the radio...
There is so much good new music that I’ve started developing a new strand of anxiety about not having time to listen to all of it /// shit times breed incisive art 💥💥
