Sleep Machine by The Safety Word
The creation of this five-track ambient instrumental album was a cathartic process for us as we both went through deep personal struggles. We wanted to create an album that takes the listener on a journey to another world. A safe sonic place where they can leave all the worries, pressures, and stress of the everyday grind behind and drift off into a land of peace and tranquility. Inspired by artists such as Brian Eno, Boards of Canada, Carbon Based Lifeforms and Aphex Twin's ambient works.
It is very different from our usual releases and is quite a departure from our usual synthwave/synthpop sound. On this album we take the listener on journeys through gentle ambient soundscapes. These songs were designed to help ease a busy mind and put the listener in a relaxed state both mentally and emotionally.
We recommend using headphones to experience the album as it was intended.
