The title track off of Sleepwalker is about the liminal space that has woven itself into the tapestry of my life. Settling on the visual of somnambulance brought much to the surface as I began to notice the places in my inner-world that fell asleep easily (or repeatedly hit snooze). The title is two-fold: it evokes a sort of dreaminess and an openness that I was exploring in my music, and it also references these unconscious spaces that made me feel I was safe but really, I was hiding. I thought that averting my gaze would make the fear disappear, but all it ever did was hold me back. Shining some light on those darker corners through this record has been edifying, challenging, and ultimately healing. Everything is a work in progress. I believe that we are never just one thing, and that giving ourselves permission to be more prismatic is a freedom and a right. Duality is intrinsic to this record and to my life.
Produced by Justin Glasco. Played by myself, Kiel Feher, Brandon Walters, and Erik Kertes. Ryan Lipman mixed this tune and Hans DeKline mastered it.
