ALBUM PREMIERE: Sleepmakeswaves - Made Of Breath Only

Celebrated Australian post-rock luminaries sleepmakeswaves release their eagerly awaited third studio full-length, Made Of Breath Only, tomorrow but, before they do, theMusic.com.au is stoked to be bringing you the premiere listen of the album in full!

Following on from 2014's acclaimed LP Love Of Cartography, Made Of Breath Only is a wonderfully ambitious, sonically lush collection of world-class post-rock only hinted at through its lauded first single, Tundra.

The wider LP — which runs for just shy of an hour — contains a wealth of engaging, imaginative soundscapes that defy lengthy runtimes (midpoint track The Edge Of Everything spans more than 10-and-a-half minutes) to remain captivating through peaks, troughs, dynamic shifts and all manner of other aural tricks over which the band has developed a formidable command through the years.

Sleepmakeswaves are a notoriously hard-working outfit, and have been on the road consistently this year; their 2017 got seriously under way with a support slot for US juggernauts Underoath in February and most recently saw them knock over an extensive tour of China earlier this month.

They now stand poised to undertake another run around the country — proudly presented by theMusic.com.au — starting in Sydney tomorrow, 24 March, at the Metro Theatre. The headline run will also take in shows in Melbourne, Canberra, Newcastle, Adelaide, Perth and Brisbane.

They'll be joined for those gigs by stalwart outfit Caligula's Horse and an array of special guests.

That's not all the sleepmakeswaves action on the horizon, though — soon after their own tour, they'll be back in front of audiences in Australia and New Zealand as part of the Devin Townsend Project's impending tour in May.

This is a band that has truly clawed their way from the underground to some seriously lofty heights over the course of their career, and you can make yourself a part of the adventure (if you haven't already) at any one of their upcoming shows.
