It&#8217;s Crick&#8217;s second full-length album and the second release to come out via Mac DeMarco&#8217;s homespun imprint, Mac&#8217;s Record Label, following Crick&#8217;s 2021 debut, <em>Live In\u2026 New York City<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Crick, who grew up in the Illawarra region of New South Wales, wrote and recorded much of the LP in his modest home studio in Tokyo. The songs on <em>Sweet Dreamin&#8217; <\/em>revolve around Crick&#8217;s earnest and inviting baritone and unflashy piano playing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tex Crick: <em>Sweet Dreamin&#8217;<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<iframe style=\"--aspect-ratio:16\/9;border-radius:12px\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/6RJ54Qt3aRnNbVTilDuFHr?utm_source=generator\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>To coincide with the album&#8217;s release, Crick tells us about the experiences, places, objects and phenomena that influenced its creation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dreams <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tex Crick: <\/strong>The record references dreaming all throughout \u2013 night dreams, daydreams, lifelong dreams. I\u2019m a dreamer. There isn\u2019t much more to it. Keep on dreaming. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Singing <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tex:<\/strong> I really got comfortable with singing on this record. Before <em>Live In\u2026 New York City<\/em>, I had never tried singing over my own music. That record was sort of an experiment to see if I could do it.<br>It made me realise you don\u2019t need an amazing singing voice, you just have to mean what you\u2019re singing about and people will recognise that. So, me being more confident in the way I use my voice helped this record to be what it turned out to be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cinema Programs <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tex:<\/strong> For some reason there are heaps of these cinema program booklets for sale everywhere in Japan. Each maybe has about 10 pages of nice stills from all different old movies. I like to look at pictures while I write music, so I buy these and I stare at my favourite scene from whatever movie fits my mood. I can\u2019t read sheet music, so it\u2019s nice to look at something. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Attic <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tex:<\/strong> I\u2019ve got my little studio setup in the roof of our Tokyo house. This is where I pen my songs and record the most. The sun beams in around 4pm and lights up the room with gold. I love it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hindenburg Piano <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tex:<\/strong> I think about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.airships.net\/blog\/hindenburg-piano\/\">this piano<\/a> a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><strong><em>Tex Crick&#8217;s new album <\/em>Sweet Dreamin&#8217; <em>is out now through Mac&#8217;s Record Label<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"--aspect-ratio:1.7777777777778;\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kPe5Kbs_fIg?si=nEqY6D8t3tHa95Qg\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tex Crick <em>Sweet Dreamin&#8217; <\/em>Tour<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Wednesday 6th December \u2013 Mapleton Pub, Sunshine Coast QLD<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Thursday 7th December \u2013 The Bearded Lady, Brisbane QLD<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Friday 8th December \u2013 Harvest Newrybar, Northern Rivers NSW<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Saturday 9th December \u2013 Bangalow Bowlo [Natural bridge #004], Bangalow NSW<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tuesday 12th December \u2013 The Curtin, Melbourne VIC <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Thursday 14th December \u2013 The House Of Music And Booze, Sydney NSW<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Friday 15th December \u2013 16 Bellambi Lane, Wollongong NSW<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Tickets on sale <a href=\"https:\/\/www.texcrick.net\/tix\">now<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-further-reading\">Further Reading<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/musicfeeds.com.au\/news\/tex-crick-barefoot-blues\/\"> Tex Crick Tinkers with Japanese Hawaiian Music on \u2018Barefoot Blues\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/musicfeeds.com.au\/news\/tex-crick-announces-new-album-shares-video-for-easy-keepers\/\">Tex Crick Announces New Album, Shares Video for \u2018Easy Keepers\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/musicfeeds.com.au\/features\/popular-music-reference-list-for-their-debut-lp-minor-works\/\">Popular Music\u2019s Zac Pennington and Prudence Rees-Lee Provide a Reference List for Their Debut LP, \u2018Minor Works\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tex Crick&#8216;s new album is the thoughtful, playful and sentimental Sweet Dreamin&#8217;.
