Cold, which is to say the cold of the body. Reductive, and reasonable, if caught in time.
Sleep Museum explores the darker regions of the human soul. Restriction, release.
Founded in Brooklyn, New York in 2005, Sleep Museum harbors a range of styles within its body, much as a parasite infects a wound. Sleep Museum performs live on occasion, when the darker surfaces align and the auguries predict strife in the land.
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... Sleep Museum has been, without doubt, one of my most-listened-to bands since then."
