Resavoir

If there’s one constant with Resavoir, the sprawling and adventurous project from Chicago-based producer, trumpeter, and composer Will Miller, it’s perpetual expansion. In the years since Miller started releasing music under the moniker, he’s released two acclaimed self-titled LPs that masterfully merged knotty electronics with pastoral natural textures, a serene and verdant 2025 LP called Horizon co-billed with guitarist Matt Gold, and collaborated with acts as disparate as Justin Bieber, SZA, and Whitney. Live, it can morph from a 17-piece orchestra to a solo performance, all while maintaining Miller’s keen sense for experimentation and crafting transcendent arrangements.  Themes For Dreams, the latest full-length from Resavoir, is another left turn that finds Miller at his most meditative, patient, and intentional. Across 13 gorgeous and strikingly cohesive tracks, it eschews drums for immersive melodies that float, dissipate, and linger. It’s an album meant for rest, with arrangements so welcomely enveloping they feel like a warm blanket. While it’s Miller’s sparsest record yet, it still keeps his wildly collaborative ethos, enlisting guests like Marta Sofia Honer, Jeremiah Chiu, William Corduroy, Macie Stewart, Matt Gold, Irvin Pierce and others.
