Sleeping States - the musical outlet of polished Bristol-based multi-instrumentalist Markland Starkie - has re-awoken to release the new album In the Gardens of the North. The aptly-named album sees the music take on an earthy and natural serenity while the lyrics delve deep into musty pages for inspiration, creating a hypnotic and intriguing sonic garden one can seek solace in.
Here to give you direction into this musical garden of eden is the map-tastic track 'The Catrographer'. In the Gardens of the North is available through Speak & Spell.
