Wintersleep - Welcome To The Night Sky

I think its time I post some more music from Canada. And it doesn't get anymore Canadian than Wintersleep. I mean their from Halifax, Nova Scotia and their name refers to hibernation. You know, that state of inactivity used to conserve energy, especially in the winter. Halifax, hibernation and winter. It doesn't get anymore Canadian than that.

Wintersleep released their third studio album, Welcome To The Night Sky, this week. The first single is called 'Weighty Ghost.' and its defined by a heart-thumping drumbeat and a sing-along chorus. It's the perfect song to introduce Wintersleep to anyone who has never heard anything by them before. Other noteworthy songs are 'Archaeologists' and 'Search Party.' The album itself was produced by Tony Doogan who has worked with Mogwai, Super Furry Animals and Belle and Sebastien. Not bad for a band from the East Coast of Canada.

Wintersleep are touring all across Canada this fall. Check their MySpace page for a list of dates.
