Sleeper’s latest instrumental release, Behind Every Mask, is a tour de force of digital intrigue, all thick percussion bombs and mysterious electronic pranks showcasing creativity on full tilt. Bypassing most of the stock studio tools of his trade, he has constructed the album using personally modified electronics, sound generators, and effects units, and even turned a dot matrix printer into a drum machine. A light snare might appear amidst juggernauts of hissing, lo-fi samples while patches of sonic luminance amidst the grainy din to keep you guessing. More meditative than maudlin, Behind Every Mask is simply further proof that Sleeper can weld mood and music with the best of them.
