i stayed up until sunrise but got to fall asleep to the sounds of birds singing

Flatsound

A massive, forty-track archive of whispered bedroom folk and tape hiss. It sounds like a private journal left open during a long night of insomnia.

July 7, 2017 · Not On Label (flatsound Self-released)

Find on Amazon

A profound, quiet exhaustion that finds beauty in the most lonely hours of the night.

Moments Worth Listening For
The way the tape hiss becomes its own rhythmic instrument on the dusty cassette version of track 2.
The jarring transition into track 18 where the literal sound of morning birds breaks the insomniac tension.
The sprawling, exhausted vulnerability of the six-minute closer Helen, oh Helen.
Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.

How does i stayed up until sunrise but got to fall asleep to the sounds of birds singing sound next to the rest of Flatsound's catalogue?

Quiet-0.9σ

It runs a touch cooler and more held-back than this artist's baseline.
