Following on from his contribution to Floating Foundation vol. 2 (SR191), "Rain"/A Leaf Spiral is the first album-length release for Sub Rosa from Dublin based artist Hard Sleeper (Peter Maybury). Maybury would qualify his music as 'the detritus of pop,' tentative shapes and melodies are pieced together through fragments of dislocated sounds. Drums, piano, analog synthesizers and guitars allowing music and images to travel a parallel journey through dreamy landscapes drifting in and out of focus -- as if memories or thoughts that come to you while travelling, passing from waking to sleeping and other states of semi-consciousness. Hard Sleeper has released material on Emigré Music, Tu m', Static Caravan and Fallt.
The Wire: "Combined with a rapt attention to the quality and placement of each sound, Hard Sleeper's music is refreshingly unfamiliar, as though deliberately but unselfconsciously resisting the rut of the known."
