Centuries earlier, the avant-garde composer Erik Satie rejected the term musician, declaring himself a phonometrograph, someone who measures sounds. The haunting and ethereal \"Third Drawer Down,\" born from chords laid down at 2 AM, reflects an ecstatic phonometric approach for his first album Sleep Party People. Filled with esoteric arrangements, secondhand and broken instruments, and manipulated vocals, this eponymous album redoubles its mystical power as it is reissued by Joyful Noise Recordings to celebrate its tenth anniversary. Brian Batz began working on Sleep Party People alongside his work for the band he was playing with at the time, seeing it as an opportunity to explore darker directions and his own creative choices. Without proper recording equipment, he gathered all the musical material at his disposal, which included a broken piano, an obsolete Roland TR-505 drum machine, a keyboard, some guitar pedals, and an acoustic guitar abandoned by the kindergarten where he worked. He spent a year and a half on this record, which swims through a dizzying sea of haunting imagery and clever musical turns: the fluffy winter afternoon of \"Our Falling Snow,\" the vibrant MicroKorg pop of \"10 Feet Up.\" The inspiration for the tracks ranges from the surreal to the ultra-real; \"The Dwarf and the Horse\" uses silverware and water glasses as a percussive base inspired by a Lynchian dream, while \"Notes to You\" was inspired by a letter written to his father that ended up torn. Sleep Party People, an album that conveys depth and power to countless listeners, even if no one experiences it in exactly the same way. Gold vinyl includes a download code offering alternative versions and remixes by Trentemøller, Peter Silberman (The Antlers), Mikael Simpson, and Troels Abrahamsen.","brand":"Sleep Party People","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55312015851864,"sku":null,"price":20210219.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/0753936907393.jpg?v=1760408178","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en\/products\/sleep-party-people_sleep-party-people-vinyle-dore_2021_mdl","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
