Hidden Shoal Recordings is proud to announce the signing of American ambient guitarist Sleeping Me.

Textural and meticulously composed, the emotive ambience of Sleeping Me is a quiet reminder of all the beauty and personal strife that is experienced in solitude. Tidal currents of delayed guitar carry the listener across an ocean of reverb, cast adrift beneath a brooding sky. Each track hands an elusive secret to the next, hinted at but never revealed.

Sleeping Me’s debut release Cradlesongs is an homage to the bittersweet rise and fall of fortune, the discovery and evasiveness of identity and truth, and the acceptance of distance, disappointment, and the poignancy of an ever-elusive yet omnipresent love. Elegant, engaging and always beautiful, these melancholic symphonies truly live up to their collective description as Cradlesongs, lulling and comforting in their amniotic haze.

Cradlesongs will be released on Hidden Shoal Recordings on 26th May 2009, preceded by a single in April.
