FROM SHORES OF SLEEP

Following their debut, Hold this Ghost, whose immediate melodies and lush ?orchestration garnered signi icant press and a devoted listenership ?worldwide, Musee Mecanique returns with the ambitious From Shores of ?Sleep, a through-composed musical voyage that took 5 years of painstaking ?focus. This new material inds its lineage as much in the song-cycles of ?Robert Schumann as in its Portland, Oregon folk-rock contemporaries. ?Using water as a central image, Musee Mecanique has crafted a story both ?surreal and insightful, meticulous and moving, a record about travels and ?transitions, of restlessness and longing, and the grief that comes from ?leaving things behind.??1.
