\"\"<\/a>Another reason to love the internet: Norway\u2019s Sleepyard would have passed completely below my radar. While the core of the band are the brothers Kersbergen (Oliver and Svein), they\u2019ve got no less than twelve other musicians (including keys and treatment from Spacemen 3\u2019s Pete Kember) strapped in for the epic trip into twilight. The first four pieces wouldn\u2019t sound out of place in the dream sequences of Terry Gilliam\u2019s Brazil<\/em>. They\u2019re soaring, lush soundscapes with ethereal, gauzy guitar, fluttering flute and strings. \u201cHot Radio\u201d and \u201cBionic Exercise\u201d both stand out to me, the first being a lush vibe with crescendos and waves over a primal, krautrock beat while the latter sounds like the Beach Boys, if that beach was located next to an unexplored jungle. Almost primal, totally surreal. \u201cAfternoon Suntrap\u201d is the sound of unknown, dark and foreboding, yet inviting. It leads you to the \u201cTangerine Road,\u201d where angels sing you down while the rag-tag duo of old-tyme piano and pedal steel play on. \u201cHeavy Sunset\u201d ends the disc, prying your eyelids open with rays from the sky. The whole album has the hazy, dream-like, something you thought you\u2019ve experienced before but can\u2019t quite pin down quality. But unlike a dream, this is something you can easily find and fall back into. And with the internet, there\u2019s no excuse to not check out this, or any other Sleepyard discs. (Oliver, also super cool, is a Google search away and would love to hook you up with his music.)
