Named after his young child, ‘As Gabriel Sleeps’ is one of the standout tracks from Corserine’s ‘Better Than Paradise’ album. Channeling the spirit of yacht rock, 80s synth pop and the airy vibe of French touch, this single is as emotive and cinematic as they come.
 
Corserine’s unique sonic tapestry is woven from a rich background: growing up in Scotland in the 1980s, surrounded by a vibrant blend of musical genres and pop culture. While his mother and sister were classically trained pianists, he first honed his skills as a guitarist in various rock and punk bands, before expanding his musical arsenal to include an encyclopaedic knowledge of rare groove and Japanese city pop, all of which inform Corserine's distinctive sound. 

‘As Gabriel Sleeps’ veers from tender love paean to widescreen progressive emo-pop: “You hold me close and tell me that you can read my mind / How do you get to know how I feel inside?” The female vocal cuts through powerfully, while the synth work is complemented by Corserine main man Colin wigging out on his guitar to take it to closure. This track functions as anything from late-night radio missive to mildly melancholic daytime soul searcher. 

Pattern Perception dons his ravey-davey hat for the remix, kicking off with synth washes and tuff breaks before introducing bits of the original lyric. As it unfolds after the first drop it turns into a certifiable jungle tekno beast — apparently inspired by a weekend spent at Boomtown Festival. There’s another epic drop before the junglistic breaks and thumping kick-drum wham back in amongst bubbling acid and more emotive synth washes. The boy from the Black Country has really knocked this one out of the park.
