Ed Scissor - POST SLEEP (Album)
High Focus Records are proud to announce that Ed Scissor's anthology POST SLEEP is officially out now.
Sprawling in genre yet unmistakeable in style, POST SLEEP takes us from the claustrophobia of a small English town to the grotesque technocracy of a near future, as its protagonists grapple for connection and belonging. Charting the lead up to the end of days, its eight acts ponder the micro and the macro of the human condition - navigating the insufferable and the sublime.
Ed chronicles his nights and days further on an accompanying audiobook of the same name, teaming up with composer and multi-instrumentalist Chapel Tapes; the duo working together in a 1000-year old Leper Chapel to create a series of dreamscapes, pairing key excerpts from the POST SLEEP text with an original score that evokes a meditative calm (especially on late walks with nothing but a pair of headphones on empty streets as company).
