Canadian indie-rockers Wintersleep are one of those bands that inspires a whole litany of this-meets-that comparisons. Band of Horses meets Interpol? My Morning Jacket meets the National? Or, my own concoction, Silversun Pickups meets R.E.M. You get the idea — the Nova Scotia quartet's is a brooding and occasionally explosive sound, familiar enough to be immediately infectious. The band won a Juno Award for its previous album, and their fourth, "New Inheritors," which came out earlier this month, aims for a grander grandeur, and finds it mark most of the time. ||| Live: [...]

Filed under: Exclusive , New Music , Canada With memories and legacies at the heart of Wintersleep 's fourth album, 'New Inheritors,' the Halifax group decided to put some of their most treasured possessions on the cover. Canadian artist Graeme Patterson, the mastermind behind the album's artwork, asked the band to send in representations of their favourite memories so he could build a diorama out of miniature versions of them. "Basically it's like a mausoleum of the artwork, like a tomb," says drummer Loel [...]

Normally Thursday is video day here on the hill, and although I did get this up yesterday, it's a sweet, All-Maritime music edition, so I thought I'd brighten your Friday with it. I hope you don't mind. Like many other folks, I was a pretty big fan of Wintersleep's last album, Welcome To The Night Sky , and because it (and Weighty Ghost) did so well for the band, their latest release New Inheritors was, as they say in the biz, highly anticipated. Although the [...]

To poorly plagiarize Rick James, "Jet lag is a hell of an experience." I was pretty much out of touch with the world for three weeks while in Australia and it was great. Snorkeling on the Great Barrier Reef, hiking the Outback, and checking out prehistoric caves with Aboriginal art were among the highlights of this experience. Did I mention I get paid to do this? I guess Bob Dylan was wrong about twenty years of school-it can get you more than the day shift. I scouted and mixed this compilation during my jet lagged insomnia from [...]
Photograph by Scott Munn Growing up in rural Ontario didn't afford me many opportunities for live music. What little options there were amounted to mostly terrible punk rock or screamo, though occasionally a band would roll into town to make the night out worth it. Wintersleep made their name touring relentlessly across the country, including my podunk little town, building a devoted fanbase. Going from that to opening for Sir Paul McCartney is surely a sign that they've "made it." New Inheritors marks some changes for the band. It's their first [...]
Wintersleep - New Inheritor Release date: June 1, 2010 [ amazon.com ] If you look closely at the wall, you can see that Graeme Patterson included the band's name. Also, if you look closely around the rest of the photograph you can see Waldo, Obama's school transcripts, and Justin Bieber 's forthcoming chest hair.

[ download ] [tweetmeme] Nova Scotian indie-rock quintet Wintersleep were relative unknowns until the release of their third album, Welcome to the Night Sky , in 2007. That release suddenly propelled the Halifax band into a new stratum of popularity, earning them some healthy blog buzz as well as a Juno Award for New Group of the Year-a distinction that conveniently overlooked their first two albums and their inception in 2001, not that the band would complain. Since then, the group has been relatively silent, although its members have [...]
