Music Recommendation: Two Songs by Sleepthief
The latest two songs that I've really taken a liking to, that I was introduced to via my personal Pandora station, are two songs by a group named Sleepthief. I had never heard of them before, but according to the Wikipedia entry about them, they are an American group who had their first album, Dawnseeker, in 2006. The entry also describes them as follows:
Sleepthief is most often compared to musical groups such as Delerium (in its output from the mid-1990s onward) and Balligomingo, which produce emotive, melodic, synthesized music with what is often described as New Age-influenced ethnic characteristics from other cultures. Also similar to these groups is Sleepthief's use of pop music-based song structures with performances by female singers: eleven vocalists contribute to The Dawnseeker, many of whom are established recording artists, and some having worked with the aforementioned groups previously.Normally I'm not a huge fan of heavily-synthesized music, but I definitely like these two songs because they are a rich combination of female vocals, synthesizer effects, and other instruments (or so it seems to my untrained ear). Here are two YouTube videos where you can listen to the two songs I really like from this album:
- Eurydice - this is their lead single, and an official video I believe.
- Just Say It - I actually like this song even more. This isn't an official video though.
