a powerful piece, despite its relative brevity it employs a flurry of tonal and textural delights, all spinning round each other in gorgeous waves...

the album has been on a lot lately sir, such wonderful sounds and textures, the filtering effects in this one always make my ears happy

Sleepland is Kobe, Japan based artist Kengo Yonemura who has released albums with labels such as Taâlem, White Paddy Mountain and Cellar Tapes since he began operating under this project back in 2011. Kengo has recently returned to his homeland after having spent some time residing in Berlin.

His sound is mainly based around guitar and synthesiser as well as the use of some field recordings. He has performed live on many occasions, including events which headlined fellow artists such as Chihei Hatakeyama, F.S Blumm, Asuna and Christoph Berg. He also plays guitar as part of a band named Weather Spoon in Osaka.

Transition/Composition was recorded in the comfort of his home town between 2012 and 2017. This album in fact consists of two different albums merged into one: ‘Transition’ is three mid/longform drones with longer track titles, whereas ‘Composition’ is made up of eight short form pieces with shorter names. The two albums overlap as they play, with each of the separate recordings folding into one. Not only are the recordings buried inside the mix but the track titles for ‘Transition’ are also embedded within those of ‘Composition’. The tracks of Transition are listed below along with a guide of where these sit within the wider album presentation:

Transition

a. Tall slant
b. So far away
c. Lines has led a plane

Transition / Composition

 01. 	Crys(tall)ized [a-i]
 02.	Moment(s la)ter [a-ii]
 03.	Varia(nt) [a-iii]
 04.	point(s of) view [b-iii]
 05.	(A ra)in check [b-iv]
 06.	S(way)ed by [b-v]
 07.	fine (lines) [c-v]
 08.	P(has)e bubble [c-vi]
 09.	Tang(led) up [c-vii]
 10. 	In tr(ap lane) [c-viii]

The albums blend over a gapless audio presentation to emit a warmth in its early stages, as gentle guitar strokes adorn the hum of a comforting drone accompanied by washes of water and bird song. Before long, the album delves into deeper drone territory whilst retaining a restorative, comforting aesthetic. Towards the mid stages a foggy murk transmits before swathes of warm drone return, concluding with familiar sounds of bird song and soft rain.

Ascending Through The Water Drops On Your Skin

This album is dedicated to Brian Young, known to many of us as Losing Today, who died earlier this year. Brian was a brilliant photographer whose work was used for many album covers. He was a real fan who supported our music, a friend to many in the scene and a lovely guy. He is already missed. 

All proceeds from this album will go directly to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. 

Special thanks to Porya Hatami for his time and the great mastering job.
