Singer/songwriter Jessie Baylin will be releasing her new children's album, Strawberry Wind, on April 27(Amazon Music). The first track, 'Dream Catcher,' -- which harkens back to such '60s songstresses as Dusty Springfield and Nico -- got its premiere via Garden & Gun yesterday, and is now available as an instant download with an album pre-order at Amazon Music. 'Dream Catcher' is the first song that kicks off an accompanying 16-minute short-film, created by award-winning director/animator  Steven Mertens (Regina Spektor, Dan Auerbach). It tells the story of a little girl who goes to sleep only to go on a grand adventure in a vivid, cosmic dream world. In the film -- which also includes album tracks 'Supermoon,' 'Strawberry Wind,' 'Same Old Tune' and 'I Am a Dreamer' -- the dream catcher is an animated cat who guides the little girl through a wonderland of flying fishes, gremlins and other magical creatures, protecting her along the way.
