Das Album knüpft an die Veröffentlichung ihres Debütalbums "The World As We Knew It" im Januar 2021 an, dass ein Werk war, das 40 Jahre in der Entstehung war. "Dreams, Myths and Machines" wurde in den letzten drei Jahren von den Original-Bandmitgliedern John Harris (Gitarre, Gesang, Keyboards und Flöte), Andrew Raymond (Keyboards), Tony Lewis (Bass) und Greg Haver (Schlagzeug und Percussion) geschmiedet, zusammen mit besonderen Gästen wie Robin Armstrong von Cosmograf, Andy Tillison von The Tangent, Pete Kirby von Skylines und der amerikanischen Sängerin Jillian Slade.
Das Album greift Themen aus der walisischen und griechischen Mythologie, dystopischen Zukunftsszenarien, sozialer Angst und kolonialer Geschichtsklitterung auf.
"Dreams, Myths and Machines" hatte eine komplexe Entstehung in den Jahren 2021 und 2022, wobei Haver hinter den geschlossenen Grenzen Neuseelands aufnahm. Mit Co-Produzent Clint Murphy (Enter Shikari, Thunder, Two Year Break) an der Spitze wurde das Album in verschiedenen Aufnahmeumgebungen geschaffen, darunter das legendäre Rockfield-Studio in Wales. Die Band und das Team haben sich Zeit gelassen und unterschiedliche Themen angenommen, während sie die Grenzen ihrer erweiterten Kompositionen ausloten und ihr musikalisches Repertoire erweitern.
"Das erste Album von Retreat From Moscow, ‘The World As We Knew It‘, war die Band, die auf unsere Anfänge um die Wende der 1980er Jahre zurückblickte und unsere Jugend und Erinnerungen in den Songs nachzeichnete. ‘Dreams, Myths and Machines‘ ist die Band, die unsere Gegenwart und die Leben, die wir geführt haben, umarmt", sagt der in Neuseeland ansässige Schlagzeuger Greg Haver. "Das neue Album ist eine aufregende Mischung aus Geschichten von früher und heute, eingebettet in die RFM-Prog-Rock-Klanglandschaft", erklärt der Sänger und Gitarrist der Band, John Harris.

Dreams, Myths and Machines follows the critically acclaimed debut ‘The World As We Knew It‘ and draws on themes of Welsh and Greek mythology, dystopian futures, social anxiety and colonial whitewashing. The album was forged over the past three years by original band members John Harris (guitar, vocals, keyboards and flute) Andrew Raymond (keyboards) Tony Lewis (bass) and Greg Haver (drums and percussion) with special guests, Robin Armstrong of Cosmograf, Andy Tillison of The Tangent, Pete Kirby of Skylines and American vocalist Jillian Slade.
Gravity Dream Music is pleased to announce that Retreat from Moscow return in 2023 with their second album and will be releasing ‘Dreams, Myths and Machines’ on August 18th.
The album follows on from the January 2021 release of their debut album The World As We Knew It, a record that was 40 years in the making. ‘Dreams, Myths and Machines’ was forged over the past three years by original band members John Harris (guitar, vocals, keyboards and flute) Andrew Raymond (keyboards) Tony Lewis (bass) and Greg Haver (drums and percussion) with special guests, Robin Armstrong of Cosmograf, Andy Tillison of The Tangent, Pete Kirby of Skylines and American vocalist Jillian Slade.
The album draws on themes of Welsh and Greek mythology, dystopian futures, social anxiety and colonial whitewashing.
Dreams, Myths and Machines had a complex gestation during 2021 and 2022, with Haver recording behind the closed borders of New Zealand. With co-producer Clint Murphy (Enter Shikari, Thunder, Two Year Break) at the helm, the album was created in a variety of recording environments, including the legendary Rockfield studios in Wales. The band and team have taken their time and embraced varying themes, while pushing the boundaries of their extended compositions, adding to their musical lexicon.
“Retreat From Moscow’s first album ‘The World As We Knew It’ was the band looking back to our early days at the turn of the 1980’s, retracing our youth and memories through the songs. ‘Dreams, Myths and Machines’ is the band embracing our present and the lives we’ve led”, says New Zealand based drummer Greg Haver. “The new album is an exciting blend of stories past and present framed within the RFM prog rock soundscape” explains the band’s vocalist and guitarist, John Harris.
