Following Hugo Race’s recent excursions into world electronica (Dirtmusic’s Bu Bir Ruya) and 21^st century blues (John Lee Hooker’s World Today), the former of Bad Seeds is back with a new album of modern folk songs Taken by the Dream – a rich tapestry of complex emotional states illuminated by mercurial moments of dazzling light and grace. Recorded in collaboration with Diego Sapignoli and Francesco Giampaoli from one of Italy’s most popular and influential instrumental bands, Sacri Cuori, studio guests include Chris Brokaw (ex-Dirtmusic, Come, Codeine), Bryan Colechin (The True Spirit), violinist Vicki Brown (Calexico), New Zealand pop songstress Lisa Crawley, Giovanni Ferrario (Scisma, Micevice) and cameo appearances from Race’s long-time musical partner Michelangelo Russo.
