The Sleeping Years is the new project from Dale Grundle, formerly of the Catchers. The debut album 'We're becoming Islands One by One' (Rocket Girl), is a gorgeous exploration of melody and melancholy. Dale's exquisitely crafted songs tell of people trying to stay connected in a world seemingly designed to keep them apart. He is heavily influenced by the language and culture of his home in Ireland, providing a distinct character to this highly personal collection of songs.
" With We're Becoming Islands One By One, Dale Grundle has created a record full of simplistic yet timeless melodies that only Bon Iver's For Emma, Forever Ago has really rivalled in recent months... We're Becoming Islands One By One could be remembered as one of 2008's best of its kind in years to come." Drowned In Sound

''..truly lovely, full of joyful instrumentation and evocative imagery.' - Subba Cultcha
"..his voice breaks exquisitely between hope and despair in songs that the acoustic guitar was invented for" - The Guardian
Let me know if you're able to review or cover in any way.
