“New Land” opens A Companion For the Spaces Between Dreams with an invitation to step across a threshold. Lidell’s dancing electronics and Schneider’s emotive pedal steel drones intertwine, creating a space where vulnerability and reflection can coexist without resistance. The track begins at the surface, wide-eyed and waiting, then pulls the listener deeper inward through hypnotic, repeating sequences that center rather than disorient. Schneider’s steel guitar bristles and bends like something organic pushing through cracked earth, while Lidell’s modular patterns weave around them in patient spirals. Each sonic moment stretches outward and inward simultaneously, opening the mind to discovery. By the time “New Land” dissipates into air, it leaves only memorable traces, like the afterimage of something luminous that can’t quite be named but won’t be forgotten.
A Companion For the Spaces Between Dreams will be released by Northern Spy on October 31. Stream below and pre-order HERE.
