Dreamlands (Level 9)
Welcome to Leeem's
FFO: Black Country New Road · The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble · Grizzly Bear
Dreamlands (Level 9) is a genre-blurring journey through the subconscious, rooted in the rich experimental undercurrents of Bristol’s music scene. Built around a foundation of Dark Jazz and Nu Jazz, the album stretches into Folk, Contemporary Classical, Neo-Soul, and Post-Rock - drawing sonic lines between structured songwriting and exploratory improvisation.
Crafted from a blend of acoustic instrumentation and electronic manipulation, the album reflects a deep focus on texture, and mood. Traditional song structures are reimagined, often giving way to expansive, progressive movements—always searching, always shifting.
