Enigmatic guitar soundscapes and ambient drone walls from Russia's Sleepwalker, with themes ranging from the mysteries of space to Eastern philosophy, using shamanic and analogue instruments, sound effects and custom pedals for guitar and synths.
"Landing squarely between dark ambient and post-rock, Sleepwalker's guitar and percussion soundscapes are both haunting and majestic. The album's four tracks begin with the self-titled opener, featuring cosmic layered guitar drones. The second track, Le Cercle Rouge, couples undistorted guitar melodies with harmonies made up of long-held notes, as well as semi-martial percussion. The percussion becomes more involved, almost tribal, on Dream Cycle, as the guitars produce waves of textures. All of this culminates in Neverending Journey Through the Void, a 29-minute excursion with slow but heavy chording and stark synth melodies. Quieter passages are introspective and reminiscent of dark ambient, while aggressive percussion and guitar, as well as a hint of chanted vocals, drive the more assertive movements to crescendo" (Avant Music News).
Features a joint track with Liholesie. Digipak.
