I only recently started listening to Sleeping at Last as they were brought to my attention on my Last.fm. There last album Storyboards, which I have been listening to on repeat, is a romantic inspired melodic folk. For me it’s the music you hear before the first kiss or while holding hands. Simple delights. Not to say there aren’t the melodies filled with loss or longing, but I like to stay positive. Please check out more of Sleeping at Last on their myspace page and website
