about
Dreams of Empire was formed in 2018 near Brighton, UK by Andrew Craig (instruments) and partner Jane Craig (vocals) who first took the stage together in artpop outfit Luminous, who notably collaborated with Shimmy Disc maestro Kramer. Fast forward to 2018 and the duo reemerged as Dreams of Empire, the name being a tongue in cheek reflection of the band’s understated ambition, literally meaning “the aimless longing for glory”. Recorded at their home on a shoestring budget, the band’s debut album “Nothing’s Ever Finished” was released in Sept 2019 supported by BBC Radio 6 Music and BBC Introducing and others. During 2020, the band recorded and released their second album “Encapsulation” on their own Duck Race Recording Co. label. It features recent singles "Hidden Girl", "Broken Keys" and "Space Invader". The band are rarely seen live, having played once pre-lockdown at an acoustic in-store in Brighton and then two online streams during 2020, again acoustic.
