Ben Leathley What I'd probably call 'classic post-rock' with a soothing and slow-paced characteristic. Somewhere between GIAA and Mogwai sound-wise, but still definitely finding their own sound. Really good old school post-rock, perfectly presented.

Nigel Baker Another example of a great post-rock instrumental album. The addition of piano adds texture and weight to the songs. Each track has a unique build in intensity towards the end.

Music nerd Nice CD. The color is actually lighter than the pictures make it look Favorite track: Over the Starlit Horizon.

Reviews:

It’s hard not to think of recent events in the Ukraine when taking in the melancholic tinge of “The Rise”, the opening track on Sleeping Bear‘s self-titled debut disc. Brother has been pitted against brother, border against border. It’s a tough time for the troubled nation, which makes it a good time for muscular music. This Kiev quartet may have formed only a year ago, but their timing is impeccable. Their brand of classic post-rock is instantly appealing, providing comfort as well as encouragement. In the daytime, this music says, keep fighting. At night, it says, rest now, weary head. Standout track “All That You Love Shall Be Carried Away” may bear a prescient title, but its sound is fully contemporary. Vinyl crackle introduces the guitars and guides them gently through the valleys like a needle in a groove. The introspection of the track also allows the listener to appreciate the speaker-to-speaker drumming, a steady, dependable rhythm like the heart of an embattled nation. By shifting between desolation and hope throughout the album, Sleeping Bear has given the people an soundtrack for their times.
