Wintersleep

Wintersleep is a Canadian indie rock band formed in 2001 in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The band received a Juno Award in 2008.

Background

Wintersleep formed in 2001 and released two albums with Dependent Music, a music label and artists' collective that began in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia in 1994.

In 2006, Wintersleep signed with Labwork Music, a partnership label of Sonic Unyon and EMI Music Canada, and re-released their first two studio albums to the U.S. and Canadian markets. The re-releases include bonus tracks and videos not featured in the originals. Their debut album was remixed and re-mastered by Laurence Currie for the re-release.

On October 2, 2007, Wintersleep released their third full-length album, Welcome to the Night Sky. They won the 2008 Juno Award for New Group of the Year.

A limited edition of Welcome to the Night Sky on vinyl with alternative artwork was released by Hand Drawn Dracula.

The band's members frequently collaborate outside of Wintersleep. Murphy and D'eon played together in the band Kary, now on indefinite hiatus. Drummer Campbell has also performed with Kary, and is a member of a number of other projects, including Contrived, Holy Fuck, Hayden, Chikita Violenta, Land of Talk, The Holy Shroud, and The Remains of Brian Borcherdt. Murphy collaborated with his brother in the project Postdata. Bigelow plays bass in Contrived with Campbell, and also plays in Holy Fuck and The Holy Shroud. D'eon played guitar for Contrived before Samuel joined the group, appearing on Contrived's first record, Pursuit of Plots, and the second album, Dead Air Verbatim. Samuel was a member of Halifax band Slight Return.

    Early In The Morning

    by: Wintersleep

    Early in the morning
    Animals are whisperin
    Thought I felt some feelins
    Could have been the Valium
    Staring through a candle
    Staring through the people
    Hiding in our shadows
    Hearing we will not grow old
    How you gonna lie to yourself?
    How you gonna lie?
    Tell me there's a violence here
    Tell me that there's nothing inside
    How you gonna lie to yourself?
    How you gonna lie?
    How do we forget ourselves?
    How do we forget our minds?
    We're all ghosts here
    We're all ghosts you know
    Hiding in our bodies
    Drifting in these vessels
    I say it loud and clear
    Don't know if i believe it
    Tonight i want your body
    Don't give a fuck about your spirit
    How you gonna lie to yourself?
    How you gonna lie?
    Tell me there's a violence here
    Tell me that there's nothing inside
    I can feel your fingers close
    I can feel your falling clothes
    Tell me that there's nothing
