-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
An adventurer journeys into an ancient tomb, seeking to pillage lost treasure and relics to enrich himself. However upon entering the narrow, darkened passage ways…all of which lead downwards; he disturbs long-sleeping bones. The spirits, once clothed by these bones in mortal life, begin to awaken and remember fragments of their many past lives. ‘Dreaming Bones’ is the recounting of these memories and past lives - what they looked like but more importantly how they felt. Ultimately, dreaming IS remembering.
All music written, played, recorded, mixed and mastered by Natalie Bibby.

Huge thank you to Nicholas Pahman at WereGnome Records for believing in this enough to put it out on tape (coming end of June!). It means THE WORLD to me at this time.
Special thanks to Peter Scartabello for giving me a little push to finish the album, particularly at the time you did. Without this, I still would not have finished it!
Lastly, thanks to F.T for being "a light...in dark places, when all other lights go out."
