Sounds Like:

"This is the first release of the new Starlight Temple Society-offshoot label, Khrystanthoney. And it is an amazing one. Sleeping Peonies is a "black shoegaze" (it will make sense once you hear the album) band from Norfolk, England, and they have created, with this first release, a collection of songs that I really think is timeless. As the label says, it is "dark, tranquil and utterly dreamy." A perfect description. It is a highly limited pro-printed CDr, so get one while they last." - Hammer Smashed Sound Blog_________________________________ ________________________________________ _______________________ ____ ______________________________ ___________________________________ __________________________________ "SLEEPING PEONIES has an adept skill at storytelling & translating memories through both music and lyrics & throughout the release the listener can explore an isolated, beautiful and dream-filled nautical world that VELVET CACOON themselves would be proud of.....This is outsider Black Metal at its best; a warm, bassy, blistering wall-of-sound, interlaced with raw, honest emotion, subtle ambience, atypical varied tempo drumming, epic soaring melodies, somber piano pieces, haunting female vocals and most of all a real sense of artistry, personality & imagination." - Todestrieb zine.___________________________________________________________________________________"awful production and the drums sound like cans of coke" - some guy on youtube
