Sleepless Inn - Karol Simon



Detroit duo Sleepless Inn release new video...

Immediately, the visuals evoke a sense of being half-awake/half-alseep... 


A dream, like a vapor, its mesmeric mix of fantastically vibrant hues, blasting and blazing and cascading in front of your eyes, nearly obscuring the dancing figure at the microphone, Laura Finlay, her beautifuly wispy vocals wafting in melodic waves over the clackety percussion and throbbing heartbeat-bass of Eddie Logix' arrangement. Logix, the other half of Sleepless Inn, is the shadowed dude over Finlay's left shoulder, buoyant to his own beats, locked into his own little groove back there).

 Kudos to The Prince Of Darkness for the marvelous luminescent atmospherics; kudos to the song, a fine single for this Detroit dream-pop duo to release, kudos to Logix, showing evolution in his production as he expands from hip-hop into something a bit more akin to The XX or A Sunny Day In Glasgow...and kudos to Finlay, of course, singing with subtlety, vulnerability, sweetness and endearment - with those dance moves, blended under and over animation of a ballet routine, serving as a livening element to an otherwise airy/dreamy aesthetic, in sync with Logix' beats, it only entices any listener/viewer further into the color-splashed fog...further into this lucid dream...
