We’ve had a plethora of great post-rock albums come out so far this year, and now it seems here’s yet another one for us to enjoy. Sleeping Bear are a young band hailing all the way from Kiev, Ukraine and they’ve recently released their self-titled debut record. Their music sounds a good bit like If These Trees Could Talk which is a very good thing, and once you start listening, it becomes immediately apparent that this album is a quality piece of work with a ton of time and thought that went into it’s creation. Best of all though, it’s completely free to download via the group’s bandcamp page:
There’s not a bad moment to be found anywhere throughout the 51-minute run time, and the record only gets better with repeated listens. Although the band are new and relatively unknown, this album could easily become a classic for post-rock fans in years to come, and it’s definitely year-end list material without a doubt. Give these guys some support on facebook, and you can be sure we’ll keep you posted on their future endeavors.
