Dream The Electric Sleep are a progressive, concept-rock band from Lexington, KY. Although primarily rooted in progressive rock, the band employs elements of classical, folk, '70s AOR, '80s darkwave and shoegaze.
The band formed in 2009 and debuted in 2011 with the self-produced debut concept LP, Lost And Gone Forever, that received international critical acclaim.
The second album, Heretics, was released in February 2014, and received an overwhelmingly positive response from critics and fans alike.
It's now the time for album number three, Beneath The Dark Wide Sky, released today, July 22, on Mutiny Records. Beneath The Dark Wide Sky was produced by Nick Raskulinecz (Rush, Foo Fighters, Alice In Chains and many more) and was recorded in July 2015 at Nick’s Rock Falcon Studio outside of Nashville, TN.
"The new album is a sonic departure for us in some ways," says vocalist/guitar player Matt Page, "though the record does continue the lyrical and conceptual thread of exploring the way historically significant social, economic, and environmental traumas echo throughout our contemporary narratives. For this album we did specifically draw inspiration from photographs taken of the Dust Bowl in the 1930s by American photographer Dorothea Lange. She believed photographs had the ability to shine an objective light on issues of social justice and environmental degradation and could be used to persuade and motivate social and political change. Much of what motivated Lange, also motivates me."
