Milk Maids - Heavy Sleeper - 2013

Heavy Sleeper is the first full-length release from Sydney four-piece Milkmaids. Spearheaded by the sweltering lead single Garden, Heavy Sleeper provides 8 tracks of dark, angry and unrelenting guitar rock, underpinned by a precise, pummeling rhythm section and powered by colossal, distortion-laden riffs, searing guitar solos and howling, irascible vocals. With most of the recording taking place in one day in a small studio in Marrickville, Heavy Sleeper attempts to capture the live power of the four-piece which earned them their loyal following, with 8 potent songs written over the past 6-8 months of gigging (with the exception of audience favourite and setlist mainstay Up In Smoke). Mastered by Grammy-award winner William Bowden, the album will be available digitally and on a limited CD pressing via the Milkmaids Bandcamp and at upcoming shows in Sydney over the next few months. My favorite album of 2013. Support the band by buying the album here
