Album Review: Vancouver Sleep Clinic - Winter

It's hard to describe Vancouver Sleep Clinic without using the word 'dreamy'. The debut EP from Brisbane singer-songwriter Tim Bettinson, Winter, is a glacially paced body of songs, slowly melting in an ocean of heartbreak. Gentle acoustic guitar and piano melodies twinkle like stars high up in the mix, while a sea of sparse bass notes roll like waves below. Bettinson's beautiful voice soars above them, leaving a misty landscape in-between. It's easy to get lost inside songs like Vapour, Flaws, and Collapse. Winter is sure to thaw the hearts of listeners.
