Some of you know that we've been working on new music at Kill City Blues rehearsal studios. And some of you have asked us over a beer or two at our shows about any upcoming releases.
And we have good news: Yes, there will be releases in the near future. We are in the preparatory stages of working with acclaimed Cape Town producer Dirk Hugo, who has worked with some of South Africa's freshest artists, like Blk Jks, Righard Kapp and Benguela. Sonically our work with Hugo is leaning towards the experimental and cinematic.
At the same time our friend, the talented sound engineer Stefan Wyeth will assist us in recording some of the songs we’ve written since our first album, A Signal Path. These will be produced by our own talented Nicolai Roos.
In other news, as you may know, our bassist Jordi Reddy sadly departed from The Sleepers camp last year to finish his Phd in Bio-Mechanical Engineering - but you can still catch him with his awesome band Anaphys. His replacement, our high-school friend Chris Truter, has filled Jordi's very large 30Hz shoes and he really shines on the newer tracks.
All in all the new songs are firming and strengthening some areas The Sleepers have explored as well as excavating newer pastures. We are mining those hills!
