Wintersleep will probably be no strangers to many a Canadian, but I wanted to put them up here because most people I have been speaking to about them look utterly confused when I mention them.
Although they have had two albums previously (Untitled & Self-Titled). On October 2, 2007, they released their third full-length album, Welcome to the Night Sky. This is the record that I am currently completely besotted with. For anyone who knows them already but doesn't own 'Welcome To The Night Sky' some of it is quieter, and more gentle then their previous stuff but no less hard hitting.
Taken from their bio:
"Following the release of their 2005 self-titled sophomore album, Wintersleep spent months on the road touring through Canada, America and Europe. Upon return to their native Halifax, the band enlisted the ear of veteran producer Tony Doogan (Mogwai, Belle & Sebastian and Super Furry Animals), and hid themselves in studio for April and May of 2007. It was during this time that the ten tracks of Welcome... grew into their final stunning form.
Each song in its own way points to the fact that sometimes looking too hard reveals things best left unseen. But still, hope grows beneath these sable clouds and distant stars, and a light that looms beyond them all. Until then, welcome to the night sky..."
