Memories of a distant place and time haunt The Dream My Bones Dream, the sixth full-length album from Japanese singer/songwriter Eiko Ishibashi. These songs began taking shape after her father died two years ago, prompting Ishibashi to investigate a period of his life spent in Manchukuo, a puppet state created by Imperial Japan before the start of World War II. It was just an abstract concept, like something that happened in a faraway land, Ishibashi said in a recent interview with The Wire

For Japanese t Eiko Ishibashi, her grandfather’s role in occupied Manchuria and her father’s childhood in the region have cast a shadow in the shape of The Dream My Bones Dream, her sixth studio album. Co-produced with and mixed by Ishibashi’s longtime collaborator Jim O’Rourke, the album shows shades of her varied works, which encompass an assortment of work with piano, drums and electronics, and some improvisation. Her patchwork of reference points layer into dense songs that are not purely electronic but clearly borrow from the melding style. It’s part of the dark undercurrent of The Dream My Bones Dream. The metallic dissonance of ‘Tunnels to Nowhere’ connects the softness of the title track and the delicate strings and whispery vocals of ‘To the East’. The heaviness and the lightness, our present and our histories, are forever trying to balance each other out.

Eiko Ishibashi's sixth solo album, 'The Dream My Bones Dream', rides the rails into a partly envisioned, partly imagined past. Eiko's previous songs-with-singing records explored the ambitions and intoxications of pop music - but never so dramatically as with 'The Dream My Bones Dream'. Here, her songs open up into reflections upon the vast spaces that exist between people as close as family members - in other words, reflections on the things we spend our whole lives drinking and cursing about. Amongst all this abject jet-setting and debauched gadding about, the music of 'The Dream My Bones Dream' started to gather. It began with the death of Eiko's father. Going through family effects in the aftermath, she found photos from a time she knew nothing about: her father's childhood.
