Raffertie has crafted a debut album with the clearest and most fruitful of purposes; to remind the listener that they are not alone. That's something that most people to whom music is very important will recognise - we all discovered albums in our youth that spoke directly to us, or so it seemed. It's a rather noble sentiment, and one that's resulted in a stunning debut album, 'Sleep of Reason.'
'I wanted to create an album listeners could empathise with,' Raffertie, AKA Benjamin Stefanski, says. 'Albums I listened to and connected with most when growing up, and indeed still now, were those that made me feel like I wasn't alone. That perhaps sounds quite sad, but that whole process of connection was ultimately what I felt drawing me into a lot of music. Catharsis, it seems to me, is the universal backbone of music. It's a process of coming to terms with our relative daemons.'
It's an eloquent statement for an equally eloquent album. 'Sleep of Reason' is rich, enigmatic and full of yearning, evocative audio paintings.
