Sleep Decade
Genre: Indie, Rock
Region: Melbourne, VIC
Members: Casey Hartnett, Monty Hartnett, Thom Plant, Tom Milek



Melbourne/Geelong based band Sleep Decade blend dream pop, folk and shoegaze in delicately executed, deeply atmospheric songs.

Made up of brothers Casey and Monty Hartnett, Thom Plant and Tom Milek, the four piece find a multitude of ways to make expansive, languid sounds fascinating. Warm vocals, looped guitar textures, simple bass motifs and loose, minimalist drumming emanate from the four piece like billowing clouds.

Sleep Decade's subtle but dynamic music makes ample use of space, in a way redolent of classic slowcore bands Codeine and Bluetile Lounge. Over the last few years, the band spent time in Point Lonsdale with producer Nick Huggins (Kid Sam, Seagull), where, between surfing and kicking the footy, they recorded their debut LP, Into Spinning Lights, in Nick's family's home.

Into Spinning Lights will be out in November 8th, 2012 on new Melbourne imprint Flightless and Gaga Digi.

Yeah this is really lovely and muted. It's pretty low throughout but there's still a real charm to it.

It certainly does 'make ample use of space' - which is totally underlined by the beautiful tones you're getting. Melancholy!
