“Another Dream” by Korallreven, free mixtape
Korallreven reveal ‘Another Dream’ – featuring rare cuts from the band themselves (including a stripped down edit of ‘Honey Mine’ re-titled to ‘Shine On’) plus music that influences them on a day to day basis (from Cocteau Twins to Gucci Mane) – effortlessly mixed together for a flawless 30 minutes of serenity.

Stripping out friend and past collaborator Victoria Bergsman’s vocal from recent single ‘Honey Mine’, Lissvik has created an instrumental take – heavy on the sass with a double helping of sea breeze. Shaken not stirred. Take a deep breath and dive in below.
Sail A Whale x Korallreven: ‘The Truest Whale’
We had the exclusive first play of Sail A Whale’s remix of Korallreven’s ‘The Truest Faith’ way back on July’s podcast. Whether summer or winter, this is a fair weathered remix – quite possibly the finest these ears have heard all year. Today, four months on, we have the stunning video plus some hazy info on a forthcoming Sincerely Yours / Acéphale release.
