Andrew Combs at The Live Room at Saltaire on 25 August
ANDREW COMBS has announced a brand new album for release this Summer: ‘Dream Pictures’. It will be released on the Loose label on 23 August 2024.
‘Dream Pictures’ was written for the quiet hours that bring each day to a close. At night, after putting his children to bed, he would go into his garage to write, play his guitar, paint, and escape the world for a while. It was during those stretches of solitude at the end of the day when Combs penned the 12 songs that would become ‘Dream Pictures’.
“This record is about contentment: being at ease with who I am and where I am at in my life and career,” explains Combs. “It’s me sitting back at the end of each day and finding something that is inspiring, and embellishing on it. I don’t think many of these songs could’ve come if I was in turmoil. I think that dovetails with the album title, because being at ease with who I am lets my imagination run wild and gives me the ability to dream.”
