Morning Aural: Sleeping States
British Songsters Make Us Dream


We may have found our future husband: Sleeping States' lead singer Markland Starkie. His soothing, sonorous rhythm makes us sway and shit, as if we're cruising down a calm river on a summer day. What a surprise! This single's called "Rivers"!

Openly gay, Starkie has always been intrigued by sound experimentation. As the British aural outfit's website says:

Having grown up learning various instruments and classical music theory, Markland became enamoured with the possibilities of noise in a musical context... After moving to London, and feeling a subsequent sense of dislocation, Markland began a series of home recordings of short songs from the heart that were more minimal in both volume and arrangement, with vocals and melodies that took more of a central role. Sleeping States was born.
No doubt they have a long life ahead of them.

Give the video a spin and let us know what you think. But don't be trying to steal Starkie - he's ours, bitches!
