Sleep Station

Sleep Station

New Jersey’s Sleep Station makes lush, beautiful concept albums that communicate a sense of wonder and beauty. Lyrical, intricately subtle, and driven by obsessive musical impulses, the quintet pulls off the epic with surprising ease. From Hang in There Charlie’s take on a 1970s astronaut abandoned by ground control and left to suffocate in loneliness, to Von Cosel’s twisted romance about a deceased TB patient and the doctor who falls in love with the corpse, preserving it in formaldehyde for a decade, Sleep Station expresses empathy for fucked up characters, all over a poppy, wholly unsentimental musical soundscape. Sleep Station has an entire EP for free download (art included) here.
