Sleep Whale - Little Brite

Sleep Whale hail from Denton TX and consist of guitarist/cellist Joel North and violinist/sequence programmer Bruce Blay. Together they blend the traditional and electronic in a way that is seamless and stirringly beautiful. They have a new EP called 'Little Brite' out now via Western Vinyl and it's very, very good.

The only music I can think of that I've heard even close to this is that of Lullatone but instead of a cutesy shtick and toy instruments they have a knack of having rich and varied instrumentation subtly coincide to make very dynamic soundscapes. From what I hear there aren't many public transport buses or much rain in Texas (and thus the chances of the two coinciding are slim), so I wonder if they will ever know that their music is the perfect accompaniment to such occasions.


If you like we have a free download their song 'Josh Likes Me' here.
