Recently I had my mind blown by the Santa Cruz band, Fell Voices. I picked up every bit of merch they had with them. Along with their vinyl, the standout item was this vaguely packaged CDR in an envelope. I think the band is called Sleepwalker, and share at least one member with Fell Voices. Three tracks of beautiful, expansive Black Metal with some obvious post-rock influence. The vocals are buried howls, the music is repetitive and hypnotic. This is excellent. You should hear it.

Thank you very much man 1
By the way, who are these Fell Voices, any place to hear them ?
This is a good thing to wake up to... Thank you.
really good stuff! are the CD and the tracks untitled? it is almost impossible to find any infos about this band on the web.
thx for sharing this great find!
Thank you for sharing as always. Anyone know a link to buy their stuff?

Haha, this my friend Mike's project! He's the drummer of Fell Voices, and this is his solo project. I don't think there is really anything on the web about them, because I think this was a bit of a one-off thing he recorded around the time fell voices first started playing. I'm not sure if there's any future plans for this, but it is quite good. Go see Fell Voices live, they destroy!
thanks for this!
fell voices are pretty insane live, you can hear the vocals UN-MIC'd THROUGH the instruments... and these guys play LOUD
Agreed. Fell Voices are special. They deserve your support.
thanks for this, it's absolutely perfect. so many bands who attempt the black metal/post-rock thing don't understand black metal OR post-rock. these guys really do. i will buy it.
pavel
p.s. where does one buy this?
This is wonderful and odd and brilliant. Thanks!
As far as getting a hold of one of these, I would suggest writing to Fell Voices at their above mentioned myspace.
Fucking excellent. This Fell Voices side project has been a subterranean presence I've heard about for awhile and i'm glad that i am able to hear it now. Thanks!
This is really unique sounding. It doesn't quite fall into one mood, which is really special in my mind. Also, the cover is pretty damn cool.
This doesn't work. The download. Could someone reupload this on something that's not mediafire?
/( )/ (Mike's friend), thanks for the info man, too bad no future plans.
And Aesop, thanks for this, and for letting me know Fell Voices, never heard of them before, great stuff !
This is seriously impressive. Proud to be sharing a town with these guys. And really hoping this isn't the last thing we hear from them.
thank you man
This is great. Thanks for this
Great stuff.
wow. can't believe it too aesop to introduce me to something in my own backyard. or am i?
this's been the soundtrack for the last 36 hours of my life. thanks.
Taking this, thanks.
stunning...
they have copies left, you just need to contact the ms page.
There's some Fell Voices material available here: http://intothywoods.blogspot.com/2009/10/fell-voices-fell-voices.html.
Not only do I like this now, but this post made me go and buy Fell Voices' new LP. $12 with free shipping ain't bad.
I listened to this and liked it. Thanks for the introduction to Sleepwalker!
Has this been taken down? it is not working for me.
Try again, it is still up
This is a masterpiece and so is your blog. I wrote a mini-review of this on my own. I hope we can hear more from these guys.
For those who tried to get this and couldn't, a new link was added. Should work now.
sleepwalker is still an active project.
the three songs on this cdr are only part of an as of yet incomplete album-length work. recording should be finished by sometime this winter.
Michael, are you involved in this project? Either way that is terrific news, this CDR is fantastic.
This Shit Is Amaaazing...why only a 3 track album.....should have been more...can't get enough of this thing.
I've got the CD coming in the mail from Michael, who was kindly enough to send me one. I heard it here first, and by all means we should support Tucker, Michael, and the guys in Fell Voices/Sleepwalker as much as possible. Truly special bands. And from the wee bit of correspondence I've had with them, really kindhearted fellows.
It's like SubArachnoid Space made a Black Metal album... which is brilliant!
Merry Crassmas.
