First pressing of Andy Warhol's Dream is on limited-edition metallic silver vinyl! It's Trevor Sensor's voice you notice first. A deep bubbling black tar pit of a sound, it's a voice whose unique timbre resonates far beyond the constraints of the songwriting format. It demands the listener reaches for a new vocabulary. The 23 year old's debut album Andy Warhol's Dream is part of a literate folk lineage that runs from Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan through Tom Waits and onto the likes of Bon Iver, Bright Eyes, and Sufjan Stevens today. It's an unflinching honest album, transcendent in its exploration of self and sonically a collision between the classic and the forward-thinking. Sensor's debut EP for the label, Texas Girls and Jesus Christ, was written on a borrowed acoustic guitar. It took him out into the world: 2016 saw him tour Europe before hitting the road in the US for tours with Foy Vance and The Staves. Andy Warhol's Dream was recorded to tape at Steve Albini's Electrical Audio and produced by both Jonathan Rado of Foxygen (The Lemon Twigs, Whitney) and songwriter/producer Richard Swift (Damien Jurado, Foxygen). her backing band featured members of Whitney. On these 11 songs, Sensor doesn't so much wear her heart on her sleeve - he flings it out into the darkness of the front rows that sit beyond the glare of the single blinding spotlight. This is the sound of one man's soul laid bare, facing life head on.
