Sleeping States + Fanfarlo
MP3: Sleeping States - Call Me
Last year I wrote about Mr Mark “Sleeping States’ ” release on The Caspian Label’s 7″ series. Back then I tried to describe “Tremoring psch-folk laying down for a moment, taking a brief pause, after some frantic energy exertion, perhaps awaking after a long nights sleep.” This is much more impatient, but it is crafted with the same recognisable, signature grain. The original is fast and direct: this is much more sideways looking and impromptu.
This track is half of a 7″ to be released by Felt Tip Records. The other half is by Fanfarlo: it’s sprite and chirpy, with this London 6-piece slipping and sliding their way up to a bigger sound without falling flat on their faces and losing all momentum.

Hey, in case you guys are interested in another great music site, you should check out http://www.afamusic.com. It’s actually the website for this new digital label called Artists For Artists and, honestly, it’s got stuff for everybody, whether you’re a musician or an avid fan like myself.
All you have to do is register for a profile page (soo easy). If you’re in a band, you can promote your music for free, distribute your merch and albums, and even have a chance to win a record deal. For fans, the site is like a never ending supply of new music to discover.
It’s basically where digital music meets social networking. Seriously, so worth it.
Hi, Liking Fanfarlo, And the blog. Gonna check afamusic out. Just wanted to share my enthusiasm for a new band called Dega Breaks, saw them live and was amazed. check them out. Lucy x
