WINTERSLEEP

Wintersleep’s fourth release, New Inheritors, is melodramatic in a good way. The brooding and frustration heard on this album sound entirely honest and not the least bit hyperbolized. New Inheritors is one of those albums that grows on you more and more after each listen because of the intricate instrumentation and intriguing lyrics. The album is meant to be listened to as a complete album so don’t expect any Weighty Ghost-esque singles. A string and horn section blend brilliantly with the captivating guitars and poetic lyrics on the opener Experience the Jewel, while the cryptic closing track, Baltic, leaves the listener in a pensive mood. New Inheritors continues to establish Wintersleep’s well-earned place in the Canadian rock scene and sounds especially awesome while driving around in the rain at night. Catch Wintersleep at the Garrick on Nov. 20.
