Renowned visionary collective Current 93, led by the ever-enigmatic David Tibet, return with their latest work, Sketches Of My Nightmares and Dreams Occurring. Set to be released this season, the album unfolds as an intimate cartography of the psychic landscapes that define Tibet’s unique creative universe.
Sketches Of My Nightmares and Dreams Occurring is a testament to Current 93’s ability to transmute dream-visions into sound, weaving together spectral folk, minimalist textures, and otherworldly poetics. The work offers a series of auditory “sketches” drawn directly from the nocturnal wanderings and radiant revelations that haunt the borderlands between night and day, fear and wonder, horror and ecstasy. Once again, Tibet is joined by a constellation of long-time collaborators and new alchemical companions, together crafting a sound both fragile and ferocious. Across its movements, the record navigates themes of mortality, visionary encounters, apocalyptic intimations, and the fleeting beauty of human consciousness.
With Sketches Of My Nightmares and Dreams Occurring, Current 93 reaffirm their position as one of the most singular and uncompromising forces in contemporary music, forging a work that is as unsettling as it is transformative.
