Rêve Concret
The first album released by Saint Nowhere. The theme of this one was seeing if I could make purely electronic tracks with a dance sort of vibe.
Planned this one out a lot more in comparison to Ridin' Confusion, and I'm absolutely thrilled with the outcome!

Trivia
The story within this album is of a business worker of sorts, constantly going through the rise and fall between manic moods and depressive ones. Gotta go to work, gotta get outta work, and gotta get my ass down to Club Deepfry so I can dance the night away before the next shift tomorrow. This in turn is why the album's title was chosen.
Album artwork for Rêve Concret shows a partial Saint Nowhere, melting whilst putting on a tie. This combined with the gridlock background and its color gradient is used to represent the album's title. Said title is in French, and roughly translates to Concrete Dream in English.
Every track title follows the theming of two words, with one of them describing either a mental feeling, a physical place, or an action taken within the big city. Those are then mostly paired with a type of movement or audible thing.
There are multiple intermission tracks within the album, allowing the listener a moment of peace. A couple examples include Traffic Hums and Backstage Chants for instance.
Originally I had planned for the cover art to be a shot of Saint Nowhere's legs, dancing and shuffling about with a red velvet rope either in front or behind them. As the project progressed, that idea seemed less and less relevant so I scrapped it.
