Trevor Sensor details debut LP Andy Warhol's Dream, shares new single "High Beams"
Trevor Sensor has announced his long-awaited debut record Andy Warhol's Dream and shared new single "High Beams".
The album details and new track follow last month's sensational single "The Money Gets Bigger".
Andy Warhol's Dream was recorded with Richard Swift (The Shins), Jonathan Rado (Foxygen, The Lemon Twigs), and Brandon Darner (Imagine Dragons) at Steve Albini's Chicago studio Electrical Audio.
"The song derives from the desire to be one of those people on the television - a desire instilled in us since childhood in America and the western world at large. A desire that consumes us, especially those few born in middle America who look for supposedly greater things beyond the horizon of cornfields and prairies, or the northern factory towns of England - those places where nobody of any pop cultural significance is supposed to come from - for there is only so much room in the camera lens, the television screen, and we must save it for the pretty, plastic people," Sensor says of "High Beams". "It revolves around things lost, things hoped for and the dreams we tell ourselves to keep us from the possibly horrifying conclusions that forever creep up on us in the back of our minds. To these conclusions and this desire, I curl back my feelers and hiss - for I am 23 and tired."
"His '15 minutes of fame' prediction is clearly visible today," Sensor explains of the nod to iconic artist Warhol. "I’m only really referencing Warhol as a vehicle for the ultimate representation of celebrity culture because of his repeated Marilyn Monroe or Elvis paintings or whatever. But now we’re in a post-God society that is finding new golden calves to worship, that is moving beyond that."
