Mix engineer extraordinaire and co-producer, ISRAEL CURTIS, has also lent his sonic skills to the project. The music of Sleepthief is rich and varied, ranging from the drum-and-bass pulse of "The Chauffeur," to the celtic-influenced melancholy of "Tenuous;" from the cinematic beauty of "Sublunar (Sweet Angel)" to the middle-eastern energy of "Desire of Ages." What is certain is that Sleepthief has created a moving and powerful debut album that showcases the mystery and beauty of the female voice. Sleepthief's full-length album, "The Dawnseeker" was released June 27th 2006.
