Sleep Heavy
Boomkat Product Review:
A must check for anyone smitten with Jabu’s gorgeous LP ‘A Soft and Gatherable Star’ - an AOTY 2024 contender - their 2017 breakthru debut for Blackest Ever Black ‘Sleep Heavy’ reveals the late nite trip hop roots of Bristol’s sentimental torch carriers.
Issued during BEB’s inspirational golden run, ‘Sleep Heavy’ marked Amos Childs and Alex Rendall’s (both members of the Young Echo milieu along with Sam Kidel, Kahn, Vessel et al) first meeting with vocalist Jasmine Butt, who was seamlessly sublimated into their intoxicating blend of forlorn post rock x trip hop x ambient vapours and ephemeral dub scuzz.
Across a sequence vacillating the male / female vocals in time-slipping songs and sepulchral, choral vignettes, Alex Rendall fragile voice and Jasmine Butt’s seraphic harmonies flickers and arc on waterlogged intimations of bass and nicotine stain synth textures in a distinctive echo of Portishead’s blooz and the horizontal smoke curtains of Flying Saucer Attack or Movietone at their most wistful, all perfectly symptomatic of whatever it is that makes the Avon crew so loveably melankolic.
At a valium tempo they seduce to an achingly romantic sound between the barely there plead of ‘Let Me Know’ and the frankly knackered but can’t-catch-a-wink tristesse ‘Give’, hitting lip-biting soul notes on ‘Get To You’, and the smoke-hiccup drum machine putter of ‘Fool If’, dipping to funereal levels of burned-out torchsong in ‘On’, highlighting Jasmine smouldering etheric allure best in the ‘Lay You Down’ - all a real treat if you only encountered them recently via their recent, self-released beauty, or a reminder of where they started, back in the mists of B.C. (before Covid).
