Smoke Notes

Umpteenth album from local clever bugger and leader of young "band to watch" So So Modern – although, upon listening to You Sleep, We Creep, the band had better hurry up with that long-awaited debut as they are endanger of being eclipsed by their gifted frontman!
Gilmour further cements his reputation as a major up and coming talent, not only writing all the songs but playing most of the instruments on You Sleep, We Creep but overseeing the production as well as string arrangement. Starting with the rumbling and rousing 'Graveyard Shift', the mainly piano-driven songs bear some resemblance to the later work of doomed songwriter Elliott Smith and some bubbly electronics early on also bring to mind Thom Yorke's solo work – although, thankfully without the gloom and angst of both of those artists.
Brimming with the tricky time signatures that have become a hallmark of So So Modern but stripped of the over-the-top energy - with some introspective moments, like the beautiful 'Waiting Room'. In this more subdued setting, It's easy to see Gilmour's music fitting in with the likes of Chicago's loungey math-rockers The Sea & Cake et al. You Sleep, We Creep is stronger in production department than last year's brilliant Phantom Limbs, thanks in part to the help of local studio legend Mike Gibson (TrinityRoots, Fur Patrol, Letterbox Lambs) - but take nothing away from Gilmour, this album's strength is a credit to his prolific and quirky songwriting and arrangement skills.
Having been "most promising player" for the last couple of years, with You Sleep, We Creep and his band's imminent debut looming, 2007 has surely got to be his year. Recommended.
