    Wintersleep on Pitchfork

    In Music on December 4, 2008 by llcoolbreeze Tagged: , , ,

    Wintersleep’s latest album, Welcome to the Night Sky, has been released in the States and received a great review in Pitchfork.

    They even give the drummer some:

    It is drummer and founding member Loel Campbell, however, who provides Wintersleep’s magic touch. While the group’s songwriting certainly pulls off a trick or two, the end result would have significantly less impact under the treatment of a weaker rhythm section. The passion behind Campbell’s attentive, driving beats gives the songs a grittier edge, the lyrics more feeling, and pushes along the rest of the band with a momentum that connects the listener to the song faster than one might anticipate at the outset.
