Sleeping States - In the Gardens of the North

HANK ALTOGETHER:

"Rivers" by Sleeping States was one of my underlooked tracks of 2008. A buoyant (pun intended) ode to lethargy and murkiness, it made it on just about every mixtape I made both for myself and for others. It could have something to do with my unnatural attraction to Danny Deck's mantra at the end of All My Friends are Going to Be Strangers: "I want to see the rivers." Nevertheless, there was something elemental, even mythic that Sleeping States caught with that track.

Now, the UK based act has a new album, In the Gardens of the North coming out soon. See below for a tracklist and video and gear up for a consciously intoxicating mixture of moisture and bliss. A way to say goodbye and hello at the same time.
