ROBBIE LEE - SLEEP, MEMORY (LP)

ROBBIE LEE/SLEEP, MEMORY (LP)

The music on Sleep, Memory reflects Lee’s love of the extremes of pop music, from the classic songwriting harmonies of the Beach Boys, the Kinks, and Hank Williams, to the maverick experimentation of noisy heroes like Keiji Haino, Moondog, John Fahey, and Giacinto Scelsi. Others whose inspiration is felt (but maybe not heard) include Abdullah Ibrahim, Morton Feldman, Michael Hurley, J.S. Bach, Albert Ayler, the Who, and all of the John Lennons and Lou Reeds of the world. But this is not pastiche, nor is it derivative: the result is a bold combination that couldn’t have been made by anyone else but Robbie Lee. Sleep, Memory is a unique and personal vision, weird and mysterious but eminently accessible.
