Land of Dreams, co-produced by Jennifer Decilveo, Stefan Mac and Harrison Kipner, and was recorded in LA, where Owen has lived for the past three years. Speaking on the making of the album, Mark says
“This whole period and process has been a mixture of reflection, looking ahead and being grateful for being part of the world. I’ve taken my experience, playing and writing, over the last 30 years and put it into this record. I’ve tried to capture an energy that can translate and is exciting. It’s been an absolute pleasure – and a real joy to do.”
The album is a reflection of that joy: it’s an upbeat, uplifting and positive album, which ultimately was the ambition, the terrain, the landscape and dreamscape, of Land of Dreams.
“Worldwide over the last couple of years”, said Mark, “everybody’s been contained and in their bubble, and I wanted to pop that bubble and just come out of it and go: ta-da! Maybe just go to jazz hands!”
The album release follows three singles, “You Only Want Me,” “Are You Looking For Billy?” and “Magic,” which received incredible support across UK radio, with “You Only Want Me” and “Magic” A-listed at BBC Radio 2 and playlisted at Magic FM. It also follows a busy summer of festivals for Mark, with performances at the Isle of Wight Festival and Latitude Festival, to rave reviews.
