Product DescriptionTheir album The Great White North showcases 9 tracks of masterfully played post-rock that is beautiful yet heavy, crushing yet delicate. Likely influenced by their geographical surroundings, one could hardly ask for a more fitting soundtrack to the barren, rural North Dakota landscape. When listening to songs like Post Hoc Ergo Propter Hoc or They Are All Perfect, it s not difficult to envision yourself standing in the middle of the windswept, snow-blown prairies of the Midwest. Comparisons to bands like Russian Circles and Explosions In The Sky are almost inevitable when discussing Sleeping in Gethsemane, but such name-dropping is doing the band a disservice. Sleeping in Gethsemane is their own band doing their own thing and though the Great White North is impressive they are a band you need to see live. The dynamic interplay between LaPlante and Schiwal is humbling to witness as the pair navigate their way through mind-bendingly intricate compositions, backed up by Heilman s impeccably tight and impossibly powerful drumming from behind the kit. It s called chemistry, and this band has so much of it.
