Sleeping On Roads

Neil Halstead

Released in 2002, this record marks a shift for the former Slowdive member. He replaces heavy pedal effects with an acoustic guitar, favoring a raw delivery over the dense arrangements of his previous work. The songs evoke the feeling of a drive through rural areas as the sun goes down.

Minimalist production keeps the focus on the organic quality of the music. By keeping the instrumentation sparse, the recordings emphasize the specific character of his voice. It is a collection suited for periods of reflection when a muted atmosphere is preferred.
