Sleeptalker

Having a group of musicians that wear their hearts on their sleeves in such a beautiful fashion does not happen nearly enough. It happens, but bands like Sleeptalker come along far more sparingly than our music industry could stand for them to. Rising from the ashes of a Tennessee based band with a cult-like following named Aireline, Sleeptalker wastes no time in putting their money on the table.

Having a group of musicians that wear their hearts on their sleeves in such a beautiful fashion does not happen nearly enough. It happens, but bands like Sleeptalker come along far more sparingly than our music industry could stand for them to. Rising from the ashes of a Tennessee based band with a cult-like following named Aireline, Sleeptalker wastes no time in putting their money on the table. Mason Frenzel’s vocals convey such a sense of candidness and absolution in their presentation that any shortcomings in the lyrics department could most assuredly be overlooked. It is with great pleasure that any such forgiveness need not be employed as the band utilizes a “thinking man’s” approach to their expressions. Each song is commendable, but “Great Wall of China” and “The Boy & the Scientist” are some of the most moving pieces in recent memory. While being both beautiful and earnest, the singing also manages to be quite infectious; the falsetto laced chorus of “Another Great Man Falls Victim to Another Great Lie” is sure to have each one of its listeners singing along by song’s end (though that’s not the only one). It is with equal pleasure that it be stated that the combined efforts of all four musicians provide an equivalent musical landscape for their beautiful words. Each song has such a unique flavor while not needing to completely change styles or attempt to blend too many genres. The easiest description for the music would be “piano rock”, though don’t mistake this band for a bunch of John Tesh hopefuls. Most of the tunes will have your head bobbing along doing your best air piano with no reservations. That being said, they are not to be considered overly poppy either; they offer up music that is equally melancholy and pensive to Mr. Frenzel’s subject matter, just with a kick! Read more on Last.fm.
