Leem of Earth - “Shadow Sleeping”

For music lovers looking for a tune that leans a bit closer to indie rock, we encourage you to check out the fine sounds provided by Leem of Earth and their exquisite new release, “Shadow Sleeping.”

As soon as this track begins, listeners will be drawn in by lead vocalist Gileah Taylor’s refreshing voice. Taylor’s vocal towers briefly over an ethereal and cinematic soundscape before the song bursts into its true form. And even with the driving rhythm that predominantly utilizes the toms, Taylor maintains a dreamy and luminous vocal delivery, and fans of Mazzy Star or Beach House are sure to find a new favorite here.

Just past the minute point, the dynamics shift into more of a straight-forward, half-time type of beat that pounds waves of emotion into the production. Layers of reverberated guitar make their way into your ears in grand swells and though this song has its feet firmly planted within the realm of indie rock, one cannot ignore the way it effortlessly crosses over into the dream pop universe.

It’s not always easy to pique our interest when it comes to indie rock, as our scope is quite specific, but “Shadow Sleeping” is one of those songs that will find its way into the hearts of all lovers of music. Press play and you’ll soon see exactly what we mean. In any case, we’re looking forward to more music from Leem of Earth.
