Arriving as the second release on the new label, Off Modern Records (from the South London creative collective of the same name), Gabriel Bruce's Sleep Paralysis / No Love Lost is the musician’s first solo single. The former Loverman vocalist combines his unique vocals with a symphony of synths harking back to the late 80s and dark haunting sounds. Released as a hybrid of book and record, Bruce’s debut 7” vinyl is part of an exclusive illustrated book focusing around the phenomenon of sleep paralysis, featuring cuttings and ephemera of people’s recollections of the remarkable sensation. Here the young artist shows us what he's up to and what he's listening to via the explorative medium of Youtube...
