Help The Sleep Design Fund an EP and Get to Cornerstone!



For more info: Help The Sleep Design Fund an EP and Get to Cornerstone!

The Sleep Design was never meant to be a band. When the four of us got together the first time over 4 years ago at my parents house the only intention we had was to make music together. We would all meet up on a weekend night, set up a computer, press record, and just jam for hours. A year later with hours and hours of material, we realized we needed to share what we had been doing. With no money and not really any idea of how to make a record, we set out to record some of our favorite "jams".

The result was our first album, "All That is Not Music is Silence."

It didnt take us long to realize that we were onto something bigger than ourselves. The turn out to our release show was overwhelming. We started getting emails about people being inspired to start their own band after hearing the record, and of people using it as the background to their quiet times and personal times of worship. Our partnership with Come&Live! helped us to get our music in the hands of thousands totally free.

With your donation you help us do two things.

1. Fund this next EP. We want to give our music as a free gift through Come&Live! and let the Lord do with it what He wants, just like the last record.

2. Get us to Cornerstone festival. We've been invited to play, but need your help getting there.

Through your funding you cover recording costs, mixing, mastering, album design, gas, food, hotel rooms...EVERYTHING! We recognize how blessed we are to have the fans that we have. Help us put out a great sounding record and get to Cornerstone for their sake.

Thanks so much for your time and God Bless!

In a personal tributary EP to his new wife Lauren, Hampshire, UK based artist Tom Honey (Good Weather For An Airstrike) has put together this short but warm set of sounds to preserve what is to be a landmark year for the couple. Field recordings throughout were taken during a warm weekend's walking around Winchester and the individually assigned images for each track were taken by Lauren. Whilst Tom has laid out a special sentimental attachment to this EP, it is for us whatever we wish it to be. Perhaps some listeners will relate to this sentiment themselves whilst others may wish to draw light from its warmth as the summer months lie ahead.

Fuo - Resource

Genre: Post-rock, Math-rock
Label: Unsigned

02. Birth, School, Work, Work, Work 09:32
03. Romanesquo 07:59
04. Tsuji Town (Won't You Take Me To) 06:18

As an art ensemble, Fuo alternates unreliably between being a sextet with full string section and surprisingly appearing as a minimalist noise duo. Right now comprised of drummer Martin Schwendemann, bassist Leif Rumbke and a growing pile of cable salad and devices like floor organ, bells, synthesizer and further electronics, Fuo is exploring musical formats under the 'sometimes, less is less'-ideology, at least concerning personnel. Both members bring their honed-in musical skills of numerous past bands glory to Fuo. Full-length albums Shmuzzle and Anachron were released in 2007 and 2009 respectively. While Fuo is carrying on with creating fresh duo material, the third long player in big band shape is currently in the mix by Daniel Gädicke of Xrfarflight fame and should follow in late 2011.

Lights Out Asia - Hy-Brasil



Artist: Lights Out Asia
Album: Hy-Brasil
Genre: Electronic, Post-rock, Shoegaze
Label: n5MD
Year: 2012
From : Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Tracklist
01. The Eye Of All Storms
02. She Played With Time
03. Only What You Take With You
04. An Imperfect System
05. Running Naked Through Underground Cities
06. Birds Sing Sun-Rising Hymns
07. O’ Ancient World, Arise!
08. Ghost Identifier
09. Mont Da Anaon
10. Angels Without Hands
11. They Disappear Into The Palms
12. Abell 1835

Born in 2003 from a desire to find unexplored regions between post-rock and laptop electronica, Lights Out Asia has refined a sound that is best described as the soundtrack to an imaginary club scene from Blade Runner. From a foundation of plush melancholy, the sample-rich melding of dissonant guitar swells, plaintive vocals and intricate electronics leads to songs thoroughly infected by influences ranging from dream pop artist Ulrich Schnauss to ambient pioneer Brian Eno, classic shoegazers My Bloody Valentine and a even dash of IDM stalwart Arovane.

This brings us to the here and now with their 5th album Hy-brasil. For Hy-Brasil the band is back to the core duo of Mike Ystad and Chris Schafer. The absence of Mike Rush's guitars have left enough open space for the duo to explore more visceral sometimes 'Vangelian' synthwork, warm emotive cello passages and more dexterous electronic beat workouts. From the opening track onward each composition on Hy-Brasil twists and turns through organic and synthetic seamlessly while yielding what could very well be their most dynamic, expansive and universally accessible album to date.

10. First Light I
11. First Light II

Since 2005 Evan Caminiti has explored the potential of psychedelic guitar music informed by American traditions and kosmische inspirations alike. Working in both Barn Owl and Higuma as well as releasing three full length LPs under his birth name, he has released records on Thrill Jockey, Three Lobed, Important, Root Strata, Digitalis, Not Not Fun, and Handmade Birds.
With Night Dust, his debut for Immune, Caminiti shifted the focus away from amplifier worship and the desert themes his work is often associated with to focus on texture, fractured dub techniques, and spacious electric guitar compositions. Recorded entirely to 4 track cassette, Caminiti embraced the limitations of the medium and warped the original sound sources with analog electronics, searching for beauty in the hazy and degraded sounds. Inspiration came from smokey blue hues and washed out lights of some of the 80’s best vampire movies which contributes to the visually evocative narrative flow the album possesses.

Yes! However, Bandcamp charges extra for download credits. After we reach, upper limit of that, album already becomes paid. For now, we have 500 (200 free + 300 purchased) download credits. After reaching these limits, album can be downloaded from Mediafire for free and it will become paid download on bandcamp. The money we receive from it will straightly go to buy further more download credits from bandcamp.

In this album Wangwen uses different kinds of musical elements to tightly intertwine you with different memorial experiences like a hypnotizor. Let Wangwen bring you into the depth of your soul one more time, and get ready for a journey with heartbreak and ecstasy.

Helios - Moiety



Artist: Helios
Album: Moiety
Genre: Shoegaze, Ambient, Electronic, Experimental
Label: Unsigned
Year: 2012
From : Portland, OR

Tracklist
01. Nothing It Can
02. Your Zenith
03. In Everything Was Given
04. Nature People
05. Bold Advances
06. Equal Ourselves
07. Ours Everyday
08. Ideas or Hopes

I think it’s evident now that Keith Kenniff, the man behind Helios, is rather good at making beautiful music. Since his debut in 2004 he has consistently sculpted the kind of distilled, crystalline ambience that quietly refuses to be attached to any particular emotion. Indeed, this purity has been the defining factor in separating him from any like-minded contemporaries. There are no fractured shifts of confusion here; nor pitiful wails; and apart from a predominant strain of optimism there are rarely any outstandingly happy moments either. It’s unburdened serenity, and in the past eight years he has not faltered from this peaceful, detached vision. One could easily argue that it’s this weight of humanity that matters, sure, but so far it seems that Helios has managed fine, regardless. Whichever way you look at it, Moiety offers more of what we have come to expect. more...
