Search - Daysleepers :: Drowned in a Sea of Sound

"Lovely sounds ... lovely guitars." -- Robin Guthrie, Cocteau Twins "Out of all the shoegaze acts popping up, The Daysleepers hands down are one of the best around." - Built on a Weak Spot "The Daysleepers have produced two extremely excellent EP's in the last two years ... both are incredible and both forebode good things from this incredible shoegaze band extraordinaire." -- Somewhere Cold "Harks back to the early 1990s with its Cure-like guitars (watery, highly reverb-guitar notes), flat echoed drum beat, airy drifting vocals by Jeff Kandefer, and empty sonic feel ... Propulsive guitars briefly take on shoegazer grandeur on the chorus bits, amid rolling, crashing cymbals that lift the song up from its melancholy vibe." -- Delusions of Adequacy "A tie for EP of the year. Along with Eluvium's EP, The Daysleepers bring current shoegaze to another level. The hooks, composition, and execution of these songs demonstrate this band's artistic brilliance and impressive sound. Their music is an example of what pure shoegaze sounds like and ought to be. Dreampop elements along with Cure-style influence are infused into walls of sound." -- Somewhere Cold "The Daysleepers are brilliant." -- This Twilight Garden The Daysleepers return with their full-length Clairecords debut--a year in the making! Drowned in a Sea of Sound takes the best elements of the band's highly acclaimed EPs and blends them with some entirely new experimental soundscapes. The Daysleepers' trademark sound--mixing dreampop, post-punk, and new wave--is still very much present, but now the band pushes beyond those boundaries. Imagine the sounds of The Cure, Cocteau Twins, The Chameleons, and Slowdive all rolled into one. These 10 tracks touch on a wide variety of sounds and emotions, ranging from spacey ethereal drones to blissful up-tempo dreampop beauty. For fans of the early out-of-print EPs ide Your Eyes and The Soft Attack, this is a must have.
