why we love this
Tranquil sounds that bathe languidly in the sun. The sonic palette’s textures and layers complement one another and glide together with an elegant ease, like a folded pile of silk clothing.
about the record
Dreams & Whispers comes from Warsaw’s Bartosz Kruczyński, who has recorded under a number of guises, including Earth Trax, as well as his own name. Over the years, he has explored deep house, breakbeats, acid, techno, electro, IDM, and more. Often, the throughline running through a given album is his refusal to remain in any one place for long—well, that, and his unusually nuanced ear for harmony and texture.
Those qualities come to the fore on Dreams & Whispers, which might be the most focused encapsulation of Kruczyński’s atmospheric sensibilities to date. Across 14 stripped-down tracks that shimmer and pulse, Kruczyński evokes overlapping styles in ambient music—warm vibraphones, taut arpeggios, massing strings, and lonesome delay chains—but always with his own twist.
Fitting the album’s title, it is loosely divided into two distinct moods. The A-side, “Dreams,” is charged with subtle movement, rhythms spreading out like rings around skipped stones, while the B-side, “Whispers,” plunges into a zone of shadows and hush. The two complementary moods flow into one another like the faces of a Möbius strip, yielding an album that is intuitively shaped and rich in emotion.
