“I got this feeling I was dead, and there’s nothing more”, the oft-repeated line from Sleep Paralysis, and ex-Loverman Gabriel Bruce sets the tone for his debut single. A song of mounting desperation and loss with Bruce’s deep gravelly voice crooning over a simple organ pattern and increasingly industrial percussion.

Simple and built to a crescendo – a song to which to lie on the cold hard floor, scrunch your eyes up tight and re-examine, and re-explore what you have, as the music pounds its way into your soul.

Sleep Paralysis 7″ is out on 5th December on Off Modern and comes with a little illustrated book.
