Having admitted that Hypnophobia “comes from a place where fears,
darkness and creativity collide, like a slightly scary lucid dream,”
one wonders if the album isn’t itself a twisted, surreal illustration of
that weird limbo state which happens immediately before one falls
asleep. With his barrel organ-tailored melodies and ethereal
multi-layered vocals, Jacco Gardner is an alchemist who builds a fantasy
world of engaging and hypnotic sounds which trigger involuntary
impulses in the most hidden corners of our brains, sending us off into a
journey throughout the unconscious. And if Jung’s theory is in fact
correct, he may well be singing about our own.
