Waking Dreams - Sliding Lines - VINYL LP

Sundressed - Little Less Put Together [COMPACT DISCS] date 03/24/2017

In the year 2000, I had gone to the Toad in the Hole basement pub to ask the some members of a local band called the Pets if they could help me record some of my music, in the same way they had recorded their album InchLove and WarInch. In regards to my passion for recording, Love and War remains one of my biggest inspirations of all time. There's hardly a style of music they don't try to explore. To my surprise, they had recently lost a member and planned to ask me to start a new band, which we named the Waking Eyes. We spent the next 14 months or so building a sonic landscape in Matt's parent's basement in Steinbach, Manitoba. In proper daydream and full-fantasy mode, we prepared for a future vinyl pressing by making the album have seamless song transitions, except for between songs 6 and 7 (or side A and side B). I really never thought this day would come, but I can honestly say it's a bit of youthful dream come true, and is incredibly rewarding. While I've had lots of music pressed to vinyl, never has such a formative part of my songwriting life been etched into that big beautiful disc. - Rusty Robot, The Waking Eyes1. Combs For The Clouds2.

When you allow Northern English melancholia from valleys of green and grey to get married to the eternal longing of Portuguese Fado from where the raging Atlantic meets the heat of summer at the end of the world, Sleeping Pulse is what you get. What sets the duo of vocalist Mick Moss, who is best known for his work with ANTIMATTER, and Portuguese guitarist Luís Fazendeiro apart, is their artistic achievement to make such existential pain audible with every note on their sophomore album InchDreams & LimitationsInch. Using a form of doomy progressive or even post-rock as their sonic foundation, Sleeping Pulse compose music that is in the best way deeply emotional while remaining exciting. The duo's songs do not wallow in sorrow; they rather embrace the inevitable and live through it for as long as it lasts. It took Sleeping Pulse more than a decade to create a more than worthy heir to InchUnder the Same SkyInch (2014). With InchDreams & LimitationsInch Sleeping Pulse continue where they left off while they gently venture further on their rocky path. It invites all those to follow, for whom rock music is not all about party and kicking ass. InchDreams & LimitationsInch gives a musical voice to loss and pain, but it also offers to carry a part of the burden, comfort and hope, and to be an understanding companion through such dark times.
