Details: After spending two years touring the world in support of their last album 'Welcome to the Night Sky', picking up a Juno Award for Best New Band and playing with the likes of White Lies, Editors and the Maccabees along the way - Wintersleep are set to return on May 18th with their latest album 'New Inheritors'. Recorded in Montreal and mixed in Glasgow with Tony Doogan (Mogwai, Malcolm Middleton, Dirty Pretty Things, Teenage Fanclub, The Delgados), Wintersleep's sound is more expansive, less distorted and more cerebral. For the first time, the band opted to work with both a brass and string arranger on some songs, but rather than overpower with swathes of violins and trumpets, they form a core part of each track rather than an awkward add-on. From beginning to end; from the dynamic lead single 'Black Camera' to the mellifluous flow of the title track, New Inheritors is an album of rousing, inspired rock songs. You may have felt like you had Wintersleep pegged and pigeonholed but this record will undoubtedly sweep away any misconceptions and win over a huge new audience. You may have thought you knew exactly what this record would sound like before you clicked play or dropped a needle. But you definitely will not have been expecting this.
