Liverpool’s Silent Sleep (a.k.a Christopher McIntosh) releases the gorgeously wistful ‘Everything I Own’ released digitally on October 12th 2015. It’s about spending money you don’t have, it’s about burying your head and pretending your problems don’t exist until, literally, they come knocking on your door. With a superb crumpled melody that’s haunted with the ghosts of Bon Iver, Beirut, Sufjan Stevens and John Grant, it envelops into a brass dappled beauty. We have the video premiere, view it here!
“Everything I Own is a song about being absolutely appalling with money, something I’m sure quite a few of us can relate to. It’s about spending money you haven’t got on things you don’t need. It’s about getting paid on a Saturday night only to have it spent by Sunday morning. It’s about burying your head and pretending your problems don’t exist until, literally, they come knocking on your door.
Silent Sleep’s debut album, Walk Me To The Sea, was released in 2013 and since then Chris has played shows across the globe including two consecutive appearances at The Sundance Film Festival, shows in Melbourne and Sydney, tours of Germany and also shows in Brazil during the World Cup in 2014, a tour organised by Ladytron’s Daniel Hunt and including an all star cast of Dan Croll and Dave McCabe (The Zutons/Ramifications). “
