Sleepstream - "A Waltz With The Seventh Crane"

Lately I've been into post-rock music and even skipped a few hardcore shows in favor of some post-rock concerts. My growing interest in that particular kind of music is because of couple of reasons. Mainly because I grew tired of the same hardcore bands that play every month. Also I wanted to hear some new sounds and discover new bands. Last but not least the appearance of Post-Rock Bulgaria made all this possible. Thanks to those guys and Max (of Mental Architects) I saw some really great bands from the UK, Central and Eastern Europe. That naturally increased my curiosity about a genre a knew so little about. Eventually that also led to me writing a little bit more abut this music in my blog. That was followed by my discovery of a small indie label named Fluttery Records (or vice versa) specializing in post-rock, experimental and ambient music. Of course I did a little feature about one of their bands A Journey Down The Well. The interesting thing about those guys was that they picked some Eastern European bands alongside some western ones. Here's this greek post-rock band that next month will release it's debut album on Fluttery Records. The band's called Sleepstream and so far they've released only one song on the internet - the epically long "A Waltz With The Seventh Crane" which is really good track. Less heavy than some post-rock outfits but nevertheless intense and powerful. There's also a darker side to it. I'm sure the band will appeal to all those who're into that kind of music. Funny thing is that the band will support Midas Fall and Tides From Nebula! a day after two bands perform here in Sofia on the 19th of November. There's still many questions about the greeks but hopefully when they release their debut album I'd get much insight on their music. It would be really great if these guys can come up here for a show with let's say Mental Architects.
