On the album Sleeper Effect, it feels as if street griot Sleep Sinatra committed a heavy stack of rhymes to memory, made his way to the top of a radio tower, and let his words spill out onto the world below. If that sounds specific, it’s only due to the fact that that’s the sort of imagery that came to mind as I listened to the unfiltered, stream-of-consciousness sound of Sleeper Effect. The record has a densely layered and cerebral sound that’s appealing in the same way that the work of Saul Williams is. Active listening unearths a mine of ideas and observations, but passive listening has its appeal too as Sleep builds distinctively visceral moods with his flow and beat selections. Personal favorites include a stormy glint of dark funk called “The Middle Ground” (which features Defcee), a stripped-down and soul-sampling number called “Eternal Sunshine”, and a bumpin’ Stu Bangas produced head-nodder called “En Vivo” (which features Ty Farris).
