First, our best wishes for 2008, that the year is rich in musical discoveries! ;)


Sleeping People is an instrumental math rock group founded in 2002. Some members are from Rumah Sakit, another group of math rock signed to Temporary Residence Limited.

Originally from San Diego, Sleeping People know an early career quite chaotic. After releasing an eponymous album in 2005 and worked on his present successor, Joileah Maddock, a founding member of the group, to New York. It is then replaced by another woman named Amber Coffman, who, after a year, goes too ... New York, to join another group. What incentive to come back and finish Joileah Maddock Growing , she had left in plan!

Digging its way in pure math-rock vein, Sleeping People is distinguished by the strength of his melodies and the way the riffs are presented. Nothing gives in excess or in the complete deconstruction of sound, and everything is clean even though the dissonances and other devices are in cahoots with the rhythms convoluted and layers of riffs.

That's the whole appeal of Growing , which seems a lot more mature for his artistic choices, that Sleeping People. Production guitars is clear, leaving breathing complex riffs in open space. The drums and bass are not as better highlighted. The songs that seemed to underlie the filling, as "... Out Dream , " Underland " or " It's Love Heart Open " in fact open to intriguing musical possibilities. Each of these pieces is the composition one of three instruments (guitar, bass, drums) in a different experimental vein of the key moments of the disc.
After several plays, it is reasonable to ask what would have happened without this album is absolutely brilliant leg Joileah Maddock? His guitar playing is a hallmark of the group and chance, the magic of interaction and intelligence to try to give the color wheel that saves additional Growing linearity. One can always find fault with here and there, like the choice of certain riffs a bit simple, but it could be instantly transformed again quality. This is a disc that not only the complexity for complexity, alternating easy and indisputable difficulty. The balance is made as and when tiny forty-five minutes drive.


Sleeping People is indeed a real style, a subtle blend that combines the aggressive side and "nag" of 65daysofstatic and catchy melodies to the EITS. A style more mundane, but nevertheless an interesting discovery for fans of experimental rock:)
