Absolutely stunning debut album of ambient electronic space rock from as
frighteningly young three-piece from South London - their first full
release, having had an early version of album track 'The Tinderbox' included
on the Type Records 'Free The Future' compilation.
Having met at school, Sam Purcell, Josh Rothberger and Karl Jawara started
experimenting with various musical instruments and sounds using software and
basic recording equipment, inspired by the music they were into and with the
aim of creating their own wall of sound. After 14 months they emerged with
something they were sufficiently happy with to allow it to be heard by
others, and ultimately that brings us to the present day - an eight-track,
45-minute debut that is comparable to any in this field in recent times.
Our Sleepless Forest's music is multi-layered, complex and dense, yet
dedication and attention are rewarded as the intricate slow-build melodies
are revealed beneath the feedback, crackle and hiss. Reminiscent at times of
the likes of Loscil or even Radiohead's more out-there moments but on the
whole avoiding the predictable comparisons associated with music of this
genre, this is an album that simply has to be heard.
Press to follow; opening track 'Nomads' was played by Mary Anne Hobbs a
couple of months back, and influential Manchester-based website Angry Ape
have lined up an interview with the band.
