YKR 2015: Sleep Good - Dream Dealer

posted December 30, 2015 #

I'd been a fan of Sleep Good for awhile. His prior release, Skyclimber, caught my ear many years back and I was quite intrigued when I saw Dream Dealer pop up on Bandcamp in January of 2015. The album was phenomenal - a much more mature landscape of psychedelic sound and tripped out explorations than anything that had come before. Surely this had to exist on vinyl, right?

It did not and no plans were in the work to have it exist in such a format. I reached out to Will Patterson - the man behind the project - and asked if we could team up to release it on YK Records. He was game and we began fleshing out the artwork and getting the album into production.

It emerged on vinyl in August - a long time from its original digital release but I am proud to know that I had a hand in getting this record out into the world in a physical form. I've listened to it countless times. It's relaxing and enveloping in a way that feels like a peek into another place.

I hope people continue to discover it as it only becomes more rewarding with every listen. Dive into the video for X as a place to start but, if we're being honest, just put on your headphones and dive in.
