White Moth Black Butterfly announce new album ‘The Cost of Dreaming’

WHITE MOTH BLACK BUTTERFLY have announced a new album!

Titled The Cost of Dreaming, the upcoming album from the project spear-headed by TESSERACT‘s Daniel Tompkins is the long-awaited follow-up to 2017’s Atone and is scheduled to be released in May this year, via Kscope.

Collaborating with Tompkins for the new album are New-Delhi based SKYHARBOR songwriter and producer Keshav Dhar; US based producer and string arranger Randy Slaugh who has previously worked with the likes of DEVIN TOWNSEND, ARCHITECTS and PERIPHERY, drummer Mac Christensen and the lineup is completed by ethereal vocals of UK singer and lyricist Jordan Turner.

Self-produced, engineered and recorded over three continents in various studios throughout the last year, The Cost Of Dreaming was written remotely. This album signals a sonic evolution in the band’s output while still retaining core elements from previous recordings such as organic string sections and experimental theme linking interludes.

Speaking about the upcoming album, Daniel Tompkins says, “our new album The Cost of Dreaming is something we feel just about every human being on the planet that’s been affected by life changing disruption will relate strongly to. Our nature is to always be planning, dreaming about an ideal future in which we will have ticked various boxes that define our ideal lives, often at the cost of the present. And when control over that future is seized away from us and all we are left with is the present, we realise just how much we took for granted. Life is surely a gift to us all throughout which we experience moments of soaring bliss and happiness, and then in a heartbeat sink into states of great trouble and suffering. Often our struggles can serve as momentous opportunities for growth, but the balance of life can often hold us back from seizing the day. We believe that this album is our greatest achievement – it’s an outpouring of love and a cry for help.”
