Wintersleep (Edge Studios Sept 10/12)

Paul Murphy, the Wintersleep singer was out chatting with the loosely assembled group of fans on the rock in front of the Edge studios until he was called away for soundcheck (half of  Nothing is Anything). Twenty minutes later the rock crowd had assembled in front of the studio where the core five-piece edition cranked out a full version of Nothing is Anything live on the air. The three guitars soared on this forthcoming single and led them straight into current chart burner, In Came the Flood. The singer had swapped acoustic for tambo on this and the crashing ending was fantastic. Likable on-air personality Bookie seemed into it and the crowd was too so we got a bonus off-air rendition of the "anti-climatic" Dead Letter & the Infinite Yes with some stellar backing vocals from Jon Samuel, the keyboardist/guitar player. Short and sweet set - a lovely primer for their upcoming full show in October.
