SLEEPTIDE by EAGLEOWL
Eagleowl are simply full of good ideas. Sleep through the Winter? Yes please, wake me up when the snowdrops are in bloom though, becuase I wouldn’t want to miss them. Thanks.
Sleeptide is an excellent description of how I often feel after a hearty lunch at about 3pm, but is an equally good title for this song. The vocals wash coaxingly in and out, with strong influences of the Fleet Foxes (if one underwent a sex change). The rest of the album is equally as gorgeous, and layers up some cello with other lovely instruments.
Leith’s very own Elvis Shakespeare is going to be graced with their presence on Valentine’s Day, well worth a listen with someone you like. Alternatively, if you find all that 14th Feb stuff nauseating, Eagleowl will definitely sooth your contempt. Or your stomach.
