There is little left to know at the end of the day. Here in twilight, only questions remain.

Also incarnate as After The Snow.

Mark Solotroff of Bloodlust Records says: "This is true minimal-synth music, but probably not the type of thing that most people would think of. This is not M.B.-style synth-drone, or other noise and industrial peripherals like that. Sleep Museum is a New York-based project that specializes in rhythmic, darkly melodic synth music, which feels utterly contemporary, yet also reminiscent of certain early-1980s "cold" music, or even the (pre-folk) electronic era of Death in June. Sleep Museum's unrepentantly eccentric vocals and dour lyrics first caught my ear on a trip to NYC in early 2005, thanks to Pieter Schoolwerth. I was fortunate enough to be there to perform with Jutta Koether, in October 2005, at one of Pieter's Wierd live events, which also included Sleep Museum. That remarkably diverse show also featured Double Leopards, Echo West, Martial Canterel, and Matthew Fanuelle, and was suitably held deep in the hull of the Frying Pan, a rusted-out lightship docked at Chelsea Piers. Sleep Museum's performance that night was totally riveting, to me. Sleep Museum has a new LP, "Dream of Waking," on Anna Logue Records from Germany, along with tracks on the forthcoming Wierd Records Compilation 3LP set. I have continually looked forward to the numerous CD-Rs and mp3s that Sleep Museum has been sending me since last fall, and Sleep Museum has been, without doubt, one of my most-listened-to bands since then."

Favorites include…SLEEP MUSEUM’s 'Butterfly,' a creeping, minimal soundscape with muted, disturbing vocals that truly anticipates a leather ball gag being imminently forced into your mouth," - The Big Takeover (Review of Wierd Records Compilation)
