I think unlike any other artist I know, Brock really does create these tiny little worlds through his intense production, which (if you let them) just guide you somewhere wholly refreshing and beautiful. Perhaps ‘The First Day’ is the finest example Brock has given us of this ability. After all, it seems to be an album focused on (or at least, creating) dream-like states and nomadic story-telling. As with all things, you can’t just expect it to take you somewhere if you lack imagination. To dream, first you must sleep. All I can ask is that you let go and allow this incredible record to just take you on a journey, YOUR journey via the great mediator and secret guide that is bvdub, as it has for me many times already.
