"ゆめ" was released on February 5, 2014. A preview of the album was held on January 5, 2014, at Shibuya BYG bar.
The album's original title was decided as
"同棲時代" apparently meaning "cohabitation era", probably due to it's album cover illustrated by Seiichi Hayashi (林静一). The album title was changed to 「ゆめ」 meaning "dream" (夢) stylized in hiragana shortly before the release.
This album features Minami Kitasono, who arranged the first three songs, and also played on around six songs total. Tadashi Shinkawa sang vocals on シンフォニー and ため息の行方. He has also appeared on Lamp's light broadcasting program called "灯放送".
Background behind a few tracks
"シンフォニー"
It was inspired by Someya's さち子. The synthesizer in the intro was put in before the actual song was written, and was only going to be in there for the demo only. Was decided to be kept in the album version.
"6号室"
It was written with the intention of writing a simple song with a good melody. Someya initially wanted the song to feel shoegaze-y, but "turned out to be nothing like shoegaze music". The words spoken in the interlude were spoken by Daniel Kwon, a close friend of Lamp. It was Someya's idea inspired by Robert Bresson's "Four Nights of a Dreamer".
"さち子"
Was a result of an awareness of what emphasis on the guitar would be like, like with the sound of open strings. The song's title was Sakakibara's idea, naming it after a person. It is her and Nagai's favorite Lamp song.
