CORE
Bloodlustt! B!096, 2008

Another fantastic Sleep Museum release from Mark Solotroff's Bloodlust label in Chicago following the 'Street' private series 7-inch single. Four tracks of rhythmic, darkly melodic minimal electronics and drum machine-with Robert Anthony's signature twisted yet utterly romantic echo-laden melancholic lyrics. The fifth track is a frozen-cold 27-minute long experimental analogue synth piece, far closer to the M.B.-style of experimental industrial electronics; We are calling this an EP, even though it clocks in at 46-minutes; Professionally duplicated CD, single panel, double-sided insert; color and black and white artwork; in jewel box with shrinkwrap

1. Shunned (Again) (3:09)
2. About Nothing (4:23)
3. Exultant Trees (5:41)]
4. Ice Wall (5:39)
5. Night In Wire (27:07)

Available From Wierd Records.

Sleep Museum has scratched a few rare tracks from the barren earth that lines the floor of the empty room. Sleep Museum's explores the mute futility that is always bound to longing in a marriage of paroxysm and desire. The human condition, thrust out into a concrete future, skin on skin and the mirror image of the soul. These three CDs represent a broad selection of Sleep Museum's ouevre — from synth-based dance numbers to dark experimental tonics.

Mark Solotroff of Bloodlust Records says: "This may be the 7-inch single that throws everyone off of
the scent.  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."
