Sleeping Pills is the debut release from Germany's Pillowdiver,
whose concepts of simplification and minimalism led him to
self-imposed limitations for the creation of this work.
Utilizing primarily a Fender Jazzmaster, with a small amount of
synthesizer and field recording, Pillowdiver took advantage of
very lo-fi and modest mediums such as 4-track cassette and
various guitar stomp boxes.
Appropriate to its title, Sleeping Pills is a dark and dreamy
album of often-melancholic, post-rock influenced ambience. Most
tracks rely on a bed of one or two simple loops over which
guitar melodies, incidental sounds and harmonies are overlaid,
enveloping the listener in a sleepy din of tape distortions and
warm noise.
Sometimes about dreaming, sometimes about escaping,
PillowdiverÆs focused approach is a unique voice among artists
who tread the fine line between experimentalism and indie rock.
