LIMESrecorded live captured by Craig Kimberly
SLEEPER began to form in January 2004 in Norfolk,VA. The individuals have consisted of different players. Winding to present, founders, Ned Ascher (Given, Sundial Orchestra West & East) & Jon Steele (Everyone and then some,) are joined by Core member Lex Park(Ananda , Mr. One, Sundial Orchestra East) as well as drummer Wellington {BOO} Britt (Necy Ivory, Jon Bibbs, Fuzz Band,Sundial Orchestra East)
The band plays as both four and five-piece ensembles. Instrumentation includes; acoustic and electric guitar, poly rhythmic drums, base and textured loops with persuasive vocals and harmonies.
Sleeper hums in a sort of lure, seeming in action like retaliation, inviting with a certain presence that is unique and touchable. Feels which vibe towards a sort of Spanish, Middle Eastern, Sephardi, affect in rock, adorn the words in warm and evocative waves. A rich notion of story draws itself into the measures with earthy / organic affluence, a halcyon in heightened states of being inspirited from all the sincere things that exist in reference.
Sleeper’s full length (Cracked- pot, good problem) soon.
