Textural and meticulously composed, the emotive ambience of Sleeping Me is a quiet reminder of all the beauty and personal strife that is experienced in solitude. Tidal currents of delayed guitar carry the listener across an ocean of reverb, cast adrift beneath a brooding sky. Each track hands an elusive secret to the next, hinted at but never revealed.

Sleeping Me’s debut release <em>Cradlesongs</em> is an homage to the bittersweet rise and fall of fortune, the discovery and evasiveness of identity and truth, and the acceptance of distance, disappointment, and the poignancy of an ever-elusive yet omnipresent love. Elegant, engaging and always beautiful, these melancholic symphonies truly live up to their collective description as <em>Cradlesongs</em>, lulling and comforting in their amniotic haze.

<em>Cradlesongs</em> will be released on Hidden Shoal Recordings on 26th May 2009, preceded by a single in April.
