HUSKI 'SLEEP'S OVER' - THE NEW SINGLE RELEASED 28TH MAY 2012

TAKEN FROM 'H' THE NEW ALBUM RELEASED 2ND JULY 2012

‘Sleep’s Over’ is the stunning new single from Huski, aka duo Melanie Garside and Pike Galloway. Lustrous, otherworldly but highly accessible electronic pop. ‘Sleep’s Over’ is the first single to be taken from ‘H’, Huski’s new album to be released on July 2nd. The album features production from duo Psychemagik, and artwork and a promo video for ‘Sleep’s Over’ come courtesy Jam Sutton, who has worked with acclaimed US rapper Kid Cudi. ‘Sleep’s Over’ remixes come from Dream Trak and Leo Zero. Melanie Garside originally found fame with 90’s indie noiseniks Tabitha Zu and her sister Katie ‘Daisy Chainsaw’ Garside’s QueenAdreena, as well as Our Lady Of Miracles and Vertigo Angels, then spent time with female classical acapella troupe Mediaeval Baebes. It was in the mid-noughties that Garside began the two projects that continue to consume her to this day, Huski and solo project Maple Bee. She met Pike Galloway in 2006, and as Huski the pair released their first album ‘Love, Peace, Pain’ that same year, touring to promote it with Robots In Disguise, to much fanfare not least because of the latter’s connection with comedy troupe The Mighty Boosh. ‘H’ was originally intended to be a reworking of 2008’s fan-funded second album ‘Strangelove’, which was only made available to a few online, but has turned out to be an brand new collection. Despite the candy-coated synthpop of ‘H’, the themes are hardly chart-friendly: Huski are a deceptively intense affair. As Garside, who works as a music therapist when not pouring out songs, puts it, “We sound playful but generally the themes we deal with are quite dark”.
