Welcome to the Night Sky by Wintersleep
Welcome to the Night Sky is an album by Wintersleep, released in 2007. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 2 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Weighty Ghost”, on 1 list with a best position of #60.
Welcome to the Night Sky, Wintersleep's third album, came out on Labwork Music on October 2, 2007, and the Halifax band handed the controls to Tony Doogan, the producer known for his work with Mogwai and Belle and Sebastian. Paul Murphy sings and plays guitar, Tim d'Eon adds guitar and keyboards, Loel Campbell drums, and Jon Samuel, on board since 2006, brings more voices, keys and guitar.
It's big-sky indie rock, brooding and melodic, the guitars piling into slow-building swells while Murphy keeps an ache at the center; "Weighty Ghost" and "Oblivion" are the songs that caught on. Right after it came out, Wintersleep won the Juno Award for New Group of the Year in 2008.
