"This is an infinite love in its purest form. It's not the norm but
it's all I know so here it goes.
This speaking from the heart tore my life apart to bleed for ya, I
just thought you should know."
"Sleep of Oldominion from "Talk About It"
------------------------------------------------
After a decade of trail-blazing across America and cementing his
reputation as one of underground hip hop's true buried treasures,
SLEEP of Oldominion is proud to announce he has inked a deal with Sage
Francis' Strange Famous Records for the release of his third album
HESITATION WOUNDS. Due out June 30, the album combines the witty and
shockingly spot-on decrees from the mind of vocalist Sleep with a high-
speed barrage of sonic thunder from a selection of indie hip hop's
finest beatsmiths.
The first single will be "Talk About It," an old school-style cut
displaying a dizzying flow produced by SFR labelmate Reanimator.
Lyrically, Sleep takes a battle stance against manufactured artists
while refusing to dilute his style or message for the sake of
mainstream acceptance.
"Sleep can tear off syllables at a cheetah's pace like Aesop Rock or
Busdriver, but even his fastest rhymes make sense." - XLR8R
Hesitation Wounds is a vivid and intense journey through the psyche of
one of underground hip hop's longest tenured and most promising
emcees.The follow-up to Sleep's acclaimed 2005 LP Christopher, the
album features guest appearances by Del the Funky Homosapien,
Grayskul, and boasts the production credits of Reanimator, Zebulon Dak
and Smoke. Constructed from a mix of samples, live instrumentation,
and a myriad of styles that all assist in the storytelling of a
lifelong hip-hop veteran who has much more to offer the game than brag
raps. This is real life in all its complexities, compressed into 13
solid tracks, and delivered in a way that only Sleep could do.
A co-founder of the Oldominion crew, a conglomerate of hip-hop artists
based out of the Pacific Northwest, Sleep and his people have been
putting it down for Seattle and Portland for the past decade.
Hesitation Wounds displays an new level of strength in songwriting and
the signature style that earned Sleep a devout following in the
underground scene.
A career-long road warrior, Sleep (born Chris Tafoya) has spread his
sound throughout the U.S. through relentless touring, including
multiple performances at the 2009 SXSW Festival in Austin, TX and
upcoming treks across the county to support the release of Hesitation
Wounds.
