Tor Lundvall - Sleeping and Hiding (Dais)
An interesting record to say the least, Sleeping and Hiding is a consistent black hole of nuance. Ludvall creates a 3AM minimal synth version of Pink Moon, using a subtle electronic palate and a hushed vocal delivery. The rhythmic sounds are a muted industrial pulse that juxtaposes the more human songwriting in way that helps the songs move. The sounds here are European sounding yet surprisingly Ludvall hails from Long Island, the Hamptons no less, signaling a modern day Gatsby-like ennui is present behind the hushed gothic palate strokes. There are some records that are perfect to fall asleep to, there are others that although are pacifying in their tranquility have the capability of perhaps changing the DNA of your sleep patterns. Be aware that Lundvall may induce coma, narcolepsy and loss of vitality although you’d never complain.by
