About Me |
|
Sleepyard was formed by the beach of Hafrsfjord, Norway in 1998. It is known for the Battle of Hafrsfjord, year 872, when King Harald unified Norway into one kingdom. Here they found the psychedelic sounds they had been searching for, while meditating. Might have been some spirits swooning over them. Now working on their third album "FUTURE LINES", which will be out next year. This will feature baroque pop songs, psychedelic trippers and pastoral wild beauty. Mike Garson is featured on piano. "CANNONS FOR LAZARUS" will also be released. This EP will feature remixes from KRAMER and SONIC BOOM Sleepyard has also contributed music for movies and exhibitions around the world.SLEEPYARD WILL ALSO BE FEATURED ON MIND EXPANSION COMPILATION 3 EASY TENSIONS IS AVAILABLE THROUGH PARASOL PARASOL: Melancholy pop-spiritualism and dreamy harmonies coalesce on the new album, Easy Tensions, by Norwegian orch-drone-pop outfit Sleepyard. Euphoric ethereal art-pop, dreamsicle choruses that don’t need verses, chanted mantras that sooth any troubled soul. Exceptionally melodious and mysterious orchestral drone-popping psychedelic meanderings from Norway s Sleepyard, plush sounds akin to French retro-dream-poppers Mellow (but mellower), Sean O Hagan s High Llamas (but much higher), and The Beach Boys most far-out recordings. With the prerequisite heavenly harmonies and mantric chanting leading the way, Sleepyard get their cosmic groove on, and you the listener will float away in the iridescent bubble of your choosing. An album where Summer is always just around the corner... HIGH BIAS: Sleepyard is well-named. Easy tensions floats on amber waves of ambient baroque pop, gently wafting over your earlobes the way a breeze flutters over the top of a field of grass. The Kersbergen brothers add layer upon layer of harmonies (when there are vocals at all) and warm analog keyboards to their soporific psychedelia. "Sea of Love" is an honest-to-goodness pop tune, but "Memory of a "Moondog", "Wild Honey Skyline" and the appropriately-titled "My Lush Friend" sound like unused backing tracks from Smile. Whether that..s manna from heaven or muzak from hell is up to you. More aural candy coming soon to this site. So keep on turning on. ALBUMS: THE RUNNER 2003 (Trust me records) AVAILABLE ON trustmerecords.com and itunes EASY TENSIONS 2006 (Orange music) AVAILABLE ON: Parasol.com and ccap.musiconline.no NEW ALBUM FUTURE LINES WILL BE RELEASED SOON |
