Tom The Lion Going For Adds

Tom The Lion‘s full-length debut album Sleep roars with the mysterious and intangible allure of the London-based singer-songwriter’s voice. Following his 2011 double vinyl 10-inch EPs, The Adventures Of Tom The Lion, Sleep marks Tom‘s emergence as a fully-fledged album artist — creating an unparalleled atmosphere of dark, enigmatic beauty.

Tom‘s music, while intimate and endlessly passionate, takes on a shape that is entirely its own. “I didn’t want it to be me, specifically, but I thought it needed to have enough of me in it. I quite liked the idea of it being my name, but this slightly mystical version of it.” The mysticism of Tom The Lion colors the superbly assured body of songs that is Sleep.

Recorded in his studio flat and at the Clapham studio of engingeer and co-producer Cam Blackwood (CSS, London Grammar, We Are Scientists), Sleep marks the rise of an outstanding new British voice. The spellbounding sounds of Sleep are triumphantly unlike anything or anyone else out there. Don’t miss out on Sleep.
