You called yourself broken, but that's just what people are, that's how the light gets in," sings Bess Atwell in the opening moments of Light Sleeper, before gentle hums of strings and shuffling snares make way for the Brighton singer's voice at full pelt, singing with a newfound rawness. "Light Sleeper is about the willingness to feel," the Brighton singer-songwriter explains. "Somewhere along the line I had become very afraid of feeling." A huge part of this exploratory new era was Aaron Dessner, who produced Light Sleeper. His isolated cabin studio Long Pond, in Hudson Valley, was once Bess' desktop background, but she never thought she would end up star-gazing on it's veranda and noodling away on the same instruments used by her heroes, not to mention a certain pop star... The immediate trust between the pair clicked the moment Atwell walked through the doors of the iconic recording space; Dessner showed her around and then promptly left her alone to play on the many instruments at the heart of her favourite The National songs. As Atwell puts it, they seemed to speak the same musical language. "I trust his ear and I knew we had the same vision" she says. Since the release of 'Already, Always' Atwell has been through a number of personal transformations including tapering off antidepressants, after "years of avoiding it". Reflections on her upbringing and re-evaluations of some of her experiences led to a autism diagnosis in May 2023, which has helped her to make sense of many different moments. Motifs of sleeping and waking run throughout Light Sleeper, which constantly stirs and settles, Atwell embracing the full range and rawness of her voice like never before. By the title-track, which closes the album, twinkling, starry synthesisers lead her to a place of quiet realisation: "I'm ready to be a light sleeper again/To wake up and feel everything/I can carry the weight of itTrack ListEveryone Who's Not in Love with You Is Wrong Release Myself Sylvester Fan Favourite The Weeping Something Now Spinning Sun I Am Awake Crowds Light Sleeper

Death Valley sand dunes under a perfectly clear night sky. A re-visit to a shot I had previously processed, but makes me want to vomit when I look at it. Another, 'seriously, what was I thinking?' shot of old. Here's to growing older and wiser! As for the story behind this image... well, I drove MILES(about 28 I believe) down a dirt road in my fwd car, with a friend behind me who had 4wd. He was my safety net, incase the road proved to be too gnarly. It wasn't. Without a cloud in the sky set out into the sand searching for DAT COMP. Found it, and waited. With the sun slowly getting closer to setting, the sky was still clear and I really thought nothing was going to happen... BUT THEN!!!! NOTHING HAPPENED. So I waited a bit, and took a shot of the dunes with some left over ambient day light on them, and then took another shot of the stars about an hour or so later. That's my method for doing nightscapes... just so much easier than trying to light paint or whatever. Light painting has it's place, but it wasn't here. I really tried to take a reserved, and more believable approach to the shot this go round all the while making it something special. The comp is tall, but I just felt drawn to make it so. Love those foreground lines. Ripples in the sand are so good for that.
