Albury/Wodonga-based alternative rock band SOULSLEEP have just shared their confronting single, Beautiful Disaster, produced by Chris Lalic (Windwaker, The Last Martyr).
Beautiful Disaster opens with the evocative vocals of frontman Jake Wiffen, slicing seamlessly through a soundscape of trap-infused rock. As the melody soars within the pulsating chorus, the trajectory steadily climbs, building a crescendo of tension that ultimately erupts into a thunderous finale.
SOULSLEEP talk about the meaning behind Beautiful Disaster: “‘Beautiful Disaster’ is a song written about our guitarist (Jayden) and his childhood. It is about his father who was battling addiction, which led to him developing drug-induced psychosis. The lyrics tell stories of the memories that Jayden and his brother experienced during their father’s mental episodes. The two young boys were made to dig tiny holes into the walls of their father’s unit with knives at the ages of five & seven because their father believed that there were cameras behind the walls. Jayden’s upbringing has left a permanent wound within him and he struggles to understand how and why someone can do that to themselves and their two small children.”
