For someone who has mostly traveled the coasts of the United States, this is exactly the kind of music I've always connected with the enormous
terra incognita that lies in between. The fragile, midwestern melancholic hush of
July naturally evokes tropes of classic
Americana, that forlorn intimacy that every human experiences in face of the sublime. And for this you never needed more than a soft voice and a gently plucked acoustic guitar.
Sleep In Sundays is the brainchild of St. Louis, Missouri native Eric Williger.
July will appear on
"Okay", his debut full-length that's been in the making for the last four years. It is the follow-up to
The Sunflower Split 12 inch which was put out together with fellow St. Louis artist
Falsetto Boy on Brooklyn imprint
Blackburn Recordings in 2009.
Blackburn, run by Eric's brother Jonathan Williger, will also release
"Okay" by the end of May or the beginning of June. Keep an eye on
their site for further information coming soon.

Sleep In Sundays - July
After my gentle wake-up call for La Ville Reine last Sunday, Toronto-based blog Gold Soundz didn't hesitate a second to strike back by highlighting the manifold wonders of their city's underground music scene.
The artist that instantly caught my attention was some guy called Liam Sanagan, who's usually part of the straight ahead pop formation First Rate People but who also has a solo project named LUM which appears to be all about staggering bedroom a capella that indeed, as Gold Soundz pointed out, brings to mind some reduced Wilson-esque harmonizing. Absolutely compelling.
