Sleeping on Roads

 
ARTIST: Neil Halstead (Google this artist)
ALBUM: Sleeping on Roads
LABEL: 4AD
RELEASED: 2002

Sleeping on Roads, the first solo outing from Neil Halstead (Slowdive, Mojave 3) consists of nine tracks of zone-inducing trance-pop.

With muted horns and airy vocals, often set to gentle driving beats, Halstead creates a easy-going, reflective mood. The effect is largely the result of his repetitive song structure. Taken to an extreme, it occasionally becomes tedious. More often, the result feels like a pleasant yet melancholy mental vacation from whatever the task at hand might be.

Good Sunday morning listening.
