Sleep - Untitled [Inactivist Recordings - 2011]

This untitled release is the first full length CDR from new Winnipeg, Canada based HNW project Sleep, the project has also had out a split c30 tape with Gluttoness. And it’s also the first release on new minimalist & unchanging HNW label Inactivist Recordings that’s run by the man behind the Sleep project.

To fit in with the labels unmoving and often HNW ambient sound the package of each release is very basic & simple. Each CDR comes in a plan thin white card sleve that just features the projects name stamped once on the cover, and on the back  written in black biro is the labels name & the releases catalogue number.

On offer here is a single forty minute track of galloping roasting ‘n’ juddering walled noise. The track remains unchanged & mid-paced in it’s feel through-out, and the ‘wall’ has quite a nice smudged or hazed feeling about it meaning that this sits somewhere between locked HNW and semi- ambient HNW. I wouldn’t call the track purely ambient HNW as the ‘wall’ never fully wonders into melted or hazed textural drifts, neither does the ‘wall’ fade or drift out of sonic view either. Yet there is this rather neat and almost dreamy violent hazed or unreal feel to wall which nicely ties in with the projects name. The tracks an enjoyable slice of ‘wall-making’, and to my mind it brings to mind drifting through a slowly burning vast industrial unit as wooden doorways split & roast, flames billow ‘n’ char concrete floors, and steel girders slowly bend & warp.

So a nice full length opening shot from this Canadian based HNW project, and a nice first release from this new label that has release planned by the likes of: Vomir, Dead Body Collection, Ghost, Gluttoness, Small Hours, Unearthed & White Gimp Mask.
