This isn't really important enough to merit its own Blog, but it's four AM and I just spent the last half hour screaming into a piece of metal and plastique. Mm, paper thing walls and neighbours who are too afraid of me to call the police. Fun.
I have had to explain this a few times to very unnecessarily irate people, so I have finally decided to clear things up.
The explanation of the capitalisation and de-capitalisation of the name Sleepers.
It is a very simple one, in fact. The name truly has a lot more meaning than let on in previous Blogs, but when it comes to the formatting, it will vary and change given the feel and concept of the current album for which it is being used.
This can also be based on (should it be an album as a collaboration or split) the other party.
For example, SLEEPERS may be used for an album which entails extremely 'heavy' sounds, and that which has more of an extreme / harsh atmosphere, while Sleepers may be used for an album geared more towards drone / dark ambient / cult noise, and sleepers may be used for an album with sounds similar to folk and classical elements.
That stated, I really do loathe forming ideas based on words that have absolutely no meaning, such as that pertaining to genre and anything that genre entails, and Regardless of all of this Sleepers' albums may contain each and every one of these styles of music all mashed together anyways, so using this as a guide would be futile. Sleepers is, in its entirety of being and knowing, against the concept of and word 'genre', so there really is no point in my stating all of this, save for the trouble it will relieve of me not having to respond to angry scenesters e-yelling at me for 'stealing' boris / BORIS' idea. Because no one has ever done that before or after them, without having stolen 'their' idea. Although, I do love me some Boris.
Actually... this might make it easier for them, seeing as how it is now all laid out before their hateful little beady eyes.
But then again, they really CAN'T be ... helped. So there's naught to be done.
Post Script:
This all began as a joke when I first named the project Sleepers, anyways. It was in all capitals, my headline, as it still remains, is 'capital names make your band sound better'. Although not every band with a capital name believes this (I would hope not), the comment is geared towards the hundreds of bands who do in fact believe that capitalising your band name will make it... well ... sound better, or more 'brutal'. I am not making large of something little or anything of something not, folks. I have actually heard those words from not one, but a handful of different mouths before.
