  • Description

    John Mitchell is a man who isn't afraid to stir things up, and surprise people. So, while 'Please Come Home', the 2015 debut album from Lonely Robot, set a very high standard of excellence, new album 'The Big Dream' isn't in any way restricted by what has gone before. “Not at all,� insists Mitchell, who is very much the driving force behind this album in all sense of the term. “I never feel like I have to do things in a certain way just because of what's been done before. For me, doing a project like this is very fulfilling. It allows me to be totally in control of what I create.� As with its predecessor, 'The Big Dream' is not a concept album, but there is a core theme running right through it, and one that sees The Astronaut, the central character in this on-going adventure, emerging from a long period in stasis. “The Astronaut wakes up from a cryogenic sleep,� explains Mitchell. “But he's no longer in space. Instead, he finds himself in a woodland area, where he comes across people who have animal heads! It's a little surreal, and I suppose it mirrors 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' to some extent. This is something of a solipsistic haze, for want of a better description!�
