由Sam Purcell、Josh Rothberger和Karl Jawara三位同校学友所组成的Our Sleepless Forest，来自英国伦敦南部，求学时期已开始不停实验声音的可能性，经过14个月时间最后得出来结果记录在他们首张专集《Our Sleepless Forest》之中。第一次听到Our Sleepless Forest作品是来自《The Wire》杂志附送的免费CD里的一曲《Nomads》，大自然空旷的Field Recording，配合层层迭迭的电子效果处理，渗透出黑暗且缓慢的感觉，犹如置身于荒芜凄凉的阴沉森林之中，跟乐队名字相当匹配。至于《Our Sleepless Forest》里其它作品，亦尽是虚芜飘渺的气氛化乐风，就像唱片公司Resonant给他们的官方形容词「Ambient Electronic Space Rock」一样，虽然少不免带有点点Boards Of Canada、Zoviet France影子，但不要忘记这是他们于17岁未成年阶段的创作，青涩的梦想换来统一的空间感，是Our Sleepless Forest步入成年前的美好回忆。2008 debut album from the Ambient Electronic Space Rock trio from South London. Our Sleepless Forest's music is multi-layered, complex and dense, yet dedication and attention are rewarded as the intricate slow-build melodies are revealed beneath the feedback, crackle and hiss. Reminiscent at times of the likes of Loscil or even Radiohead's more out-there moments but on the whole avoiding the predictable comparisons associated with music of this genre, this is an album that simply has to be heard. Resonant.
