A Rothko-esque color field set to music, The Window Is The Dream ventures even deeper into Horn’s inner space than her stark, acclaimed debut Optimism, which earned her an ‘artist to watch’ tag from The Guardian upon its release last year. For her second record, Horn travelled to upstate New York to record with a few musical touchstones in mind: the electro-primitivism of the Silver Apples, austere rhythm kings This Heat and The Raincoats’ time-bending Odyshape, however the resulting 10 songs are an entry into a world which is very much her own.

Strumming through heavenly melody and picking alongside haunting strings this is a psych-tinged, sweet and colourful thing of beauty. Her lyricism, voice and arrangements will win you over in seconds. A real accomplished album that you'll want to revisit over and over again.
