Wintersleep - Jaws Of Life

These guys have just completely sunk into oblivion. They had so much promise and somewhere the edge got just fell away. Mismanagement maybe? This is from their 2005 album, a brilliant offering, and one that had, unbeknownst to me, a plethora of videos released, all seemingly directed by Sean Wainsteim. Maybe he was a friend of a friend, or a label hiree, but I just feel like every one of them completely missed the mark. As if they were more to act as a show reel for what tricks the director had rather than actually having anything to do with the music.

Brand new video from one of Halifax's best musical exports.

Wintersleep - Fog

It's a double offering today, and this is part one. It's been spring-like conditions for the most part of the week, but today is finally the day when we can officially put winter to bed. Wintersleep. Sounds good to me. The band too. If you haven't heard of them, I'm sorry, but the only help I can offer is a suggestion... nay!... I implore you to go out and get your hands on "Welcome To The Night Sky". This isn't happy-go-lucky brit-pop or la la lalala gagaland rubbish, it's brainfood in a cellophane wrapper. Buy it, and listen to the whole album start to finish. This song is not from that album. But it's short, it's real good, and it's going to help lift us from the fog of winter. Their new album coming out May 17th will probably help too...

On to part two...
