Jonathan
Bree’s third solo album,
Sleepwalkingwas released in June 2018 via the artist / producer’s own
label, Lil’ Chief Records. It saw the emergence of the mysterious masked
band. They first appeared in his music video for
Weird Hardcore (from second album
A
Little Night Music) but who
suddenly caught everyone’s attention with Jonathan’s self-directed music video
for the release of
You’re So Cool.
Like his previous two albums,
Sleepwalkinghas a heavy orchestrated element featuring real strings, celeste and soprano
vocals, but on
SleepwalkingJonathan's darker utilities of pop music take these sounds to an
eerie and more unsettling landscape.
Sleepwalkingfeatures a number of duets with other musicians notably Chelsea Nikkel (
Princess Chelsea)
and Clara Viñals(Renaldo & Clara)
in Bree’s more Gainsbourg inspired pop songs. The album sees Jonathan
successfully dip in and out of the avant-garde on
You’re So Cool,
Boombox Serenade and
Plucking Petals and effectively walk the
line between knowing pop music and well... the just plain weird on
Static and
Sleepwalking.
Fresh off the back of an extensive tour of the U.K, Europe and Korea, the
November
Sleepwalkingtour will see "The Master of Misery" perform in New
Zealand for the first time since 2017s' Others Way Festival. Joined by his
faceless band, audiences will get the chance to hear album singles
Fuck It which topped the 95bFM charts in June 2018,
You're So Cool -
Time Out New Yorks, best music video of 2017 as well as
Valentine and
Say You Love Me Too.
