Rex Orange County Streaming New Album 'Dream Fatigue'
(Orienteer) Rex Orange County releases his new album Dream Fatigue. The record is co-executive produced by Mustafa and Dylan Wiggins (Rosalia, Justin Bieber), and features contributions from Turnstile's Brendan Yates, Dev Hynes, Daniel Caesar, Mustafa, dexter in the newsagent and Taylor Skye of Jockstrap. As evidenced by its impressive list of collaborators, the album represents a shift away from the reclusive manner in which the British artist has historically made his bodies of work and showcases the way in which his greatest strengths are highlighted through embracing community.
Dream Fatigue also includes the previously-released tracks "Hannah Montana," "Grandma Song," "Indecision (feat. Daniel Caesar)" and "Iron Man," the latter of which is the final taste of the album pre-release, which he debuted yesterday via his COLORS performance. Today, fans can hear the rest of the album, including "Elvis," the song featuring Turnstile's Brendan Yates that was first performed by the two artists back in August during Rex's underplay performance at London's Village Underground. This Monday, Rex will close the loop by sharing the Yates-directed music video for the song.
From Dream Fatigues' inception to release, Rex's community has been on full display. At All Points East this past summer, Rex brought out Ravyn Lenae to perform the remix of her hit song "Love Me Not" during his set. The next night, Tyler, The Creator brought Rex during his second headlining performance of the festival to perform their collaboration "Boredom" from Tyler's Flower Boy album. A mere days later, the circle was completed when Daniel Caesar invited Rex to the stage at his sold-out O2 Arena show to perform their collaboration "Indecision," which was released in August as the first taste of material from Dream Fatigue.
Over the summer, Rex started a series of intimate shows where he performed in fans' homes across the UK, Ireland, Asia and Europe where they had the opportunity to select a personalized set list from a catalog spanning 10 years. Those shows have continued through album release, bringing both the music of Dream Fatigue and Rex's storied career directly to his fans.
