THE 6TH DARK POP ALBUM FROM DANISH PRODUCER, COMPOSER, AND MUSICIAN BRIAN BATZINSPIRED BY BULGARIAN CHOIRS, OLD-SCHOOL METAL, AND 21ST-CENTURY EXPERIMENTAL COMPOSITIONAcross five albums and nearly a decade and a half as Sleep Party People, Danish producer, composer, and musician Brian Batz has developed a proven methodology for writing and recording shoegaze and dream pop that sends shivers down your spine. But when he started working on his sixth album, he went back to basics. On Heap of Ashes, his new album, he delves into the darker frontiers of orchestral pop. Influenced primarily by Bulgarian choral music, old-school metal, and 21st-century experimental composition, Sleep Party People’s music exposes every facet, every moment, and every wound, finding beauty even when the last glimmer of hope seems ready to fade into ashes. Heap of Ashes features contributions from Halvcirkle, GNOM, and K. Hover of Sound of Ceres.
