About Dream Days at the Hotel Existence in brief
Dream Days at the Hotel Existence is the sixth studio album by Australian rock band Powderfinger. It was released by Universal Music on 2 June 2007 in Australia, 19 November 2007 in the United Kingdom, and 11 November 2008 on the Dew Process label. Powderfinger reunited in late 2006, after a three-year hiatus, to write songs for the album. The album was recorded in Los Angeles, California, in early 2007 by producer Rob Schnapf. The title of the album was drawn from the book Brooklyn Follies by Paul Auster, which band member Bernard Fanning had read during the recording. The first single from the album, “Lost and Running, was released on 12 May 2007, and reached number five on the ARIA singles chart. Three further singles were released; “I Don’t Remember”, “Nobody Sees”, and “Who Really Cares’ The album received critical acclaim, with many reviewers commenting that it was “consistent” and “distinctly Australian” The album encountered controversy relating to the song ‘Black Tears’, with claims that it may have influenced the Palm Island death in custody trial. A collector’s edition, including a CD and DVD, was release on 18 April 2008. It is the second futuristic style that the band has used for their name, the first appearing on Vulture 2.
The band’s name is the general typeface of the 1930s in style, the general design being a futuristic, science-fiction styled typeface with a crimson window. Within this window is a man with no head in a suit at the end of a bed at the top of the bed, while watching the television while wearing a suit and a hat. This is the same typeface that is used on the band’s second album, The Vulture Street Vulture, which was released in Australia on 2 November 2007. The second album is the first to feature the name ‘Powderfinger’ on the front cover, and the second to feature a picture of the band in a 1930s style hotel room, in which the man is seated in a crimson suit. The third and final album to feature this style of design is ‘The Vulture Vulture’, released on 2 October 2008. The fourth and fifth songs on the album are ‘Tail’ and ‘Bless My Soul’, which were released as singles before the album’s release. The final song, ‘I don’t Remember’, was released as a single before the release of the second single ‘I Don’t Remember’, which was the band’s latest single.
