Lionlimb is the New York-based project of Stewart Bronaugh and Joshua Jaeger. Bronaugh and Jaeger have also both performed in Olsen’s touring band. They have a newly titled album, “Limbo”, on May 24th via Bayonet Records. This week the band shared its second single, “Dream of You,” which features Angel Olsen, who also appears in the video.
“Our new song ‘Dream of You’ featuring the astonishing Angel Olsen is out today. I wrote it about my dog I lost two years ago,” says Bronaugh in a press release. “I was having a recurring dream that he was still alive and I got to hug and kiss and smell him again. It was so realistic and though the song may not reflect it, it was the happiest feeling ever.”
Olsen said “I’ve been a fan of Lionlimb since 2012, and for a time – part of the band toured with me and recorded on albums “Burn Your Fire For No Witness”, and “My Woman,” . “So naturally when Stewart asked me to sing on ‘Dream of You’ I knew it would be vibey and beautiful. I tried to enmesh myself in the recording and sing in more of a way that complemented the dreamy backdrop of the song and story of “Limbo.”
Previously “Limbo’s” first single was, “Hurricane,” A press release says the new album was “inspired by a palette of ’70s Italian film soundtracks, ’60s girl group music, and funk and soul ballads.”
“When I’m working on music, it’s like I’m trying to make my own world,” Bronaugh says in the press release. “It’s that feeling of wanting to exist somewhere else. I’m trying to express something and get out of my head and body.”
