The one-man home recording project took shape in 2008 when Batz began experimenting with an old battered piano in his apartment.

Without the support of a U.S. label, the band was able to harness a groundswell of attention from far reaches of the globe. Throughout Asia, Eastern Europe, South America, and even parts of the Middle East it's not unusual for SPP shows to draw thousands of spectators.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eWritten, recorded, produced, and performed by Batz, the new album develops beyond the band's more overtly post-rock efforts.

Centuries earlier, beloved avant-garde composer Erik Satie declined the term musician, instead declaring himself a phonometrician--someone who measures sounds. The aching and otherworldly “Third Drawer Down”--the product of Batz’s 2 a.m. chording--reflects an ecstatic phonometric approach for his first album under the moniker \u003cb\u003eSleep Party People\u003c\/b\u003e. Full of arcane arrangements, broken and secondhand instruments, and manipulated vocals, the self-titled record has redoubled in mystic strength on the verge of its 10-year anniversary reissue, due February 19 via Joyful Noise Recordings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eBatz began working on \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ci\u003eSleep Party People \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eas an alternative outlet from the band he’d been playing with, the opportunity to opt for the obscure decisions and creative idiosyncrasies on his own. “I wanted to see how it would feel to not compromise with anyone and just do what I thought would work,” he explains. Without proper recording equipment or fancy gear, that meant summoning together the misfit musical tools in his apartment--including a busted piano, an outdated Roland TR-505 drum machine, a keyboard, a handful of assorted guitar pedals, and an acoustic guitar that the kindergarten where he worked was going to throw away. “I sat in my apartment for a year and a half turning everything upside down and just trying to push my own limits,” Batz recounts. Inspired by everything from Satie to the Cocteau Twins, the bombast of My Bloody Valentine to the puzzle of Boards of Canada, \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ci\u003eSleep Party People \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003ebecame a process of constant innovation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThat experimentation clicked into place with the discovery of a distinct vocal sound, a series of effects layered over Batz’s lyrics that feels at once hypnagogic in its obscuring power and intimately familiar, like a waking dream. The radiant, concentric “I’m Not Human At All” plays into that duality perfectly, an epic four-chord lullaby in which Batz’s voice buzzes like a water-logged robot--or better yet, a white rabbit already halfway down the rabbithole. “I hated my clean vocals, but once I found this sound, it reminded me of \u003ci\u003eAlice in Wonderland \u003c\/i\u003estuff,” he explains. “Like an alienated bunny.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWithin weeks of uploading the first few songs on MySpace, Batz received an email from a Danish record label interested in releasing a full album. “I never had any plans for an entire album,” Batz laughs. “I was recording for fun, but at that point I knew I had to move forward.” That also meant he’d need to start considering Sleep Party People as a complete project, rather than a hobby.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe completed record swims through a dizzying sea of haunting imagery and clever musical turns: the fluffy winter afternoon of “Our Falling Snow”, the pulsating MicroKorg pop of “10 Feet Up”. The inspiration from the tracks ranges from the surreal to the ultra-real; “The Dwarf and the Horse” utilizes silverware and water glasses for a percussion base inspired by a Lynchian dream of the titular characters, while “Notes to You” was inspired by a letter Batz wrote to his father and eventually tore up rather than send.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eVisuals play into the Sleep Party People mythos as well. “Third Drawer Down” took its name from an illustration hanging above Batz piano, the drawing depicting a person carefully guarding a plant just barely poking through the ground--a remarkably fitting image to pair with a song that represents the first growth of a new world. Later, after stumbling upon a photo he found online of a little boy in a rabbit mask, Batz decided that the serendipitous match with his newly adopted bunny-like vocal technique demanded a further connection. From then onward, Batz and the touring musicians he assembled would don their own rabbit masks whenever performing. In the decade since the album was finalized, the sight of a handful of extraordinary, hallucinatory rabbits hunched over instruments has perfectly suited the music’s ability to weave grand fairytales in the sky, full of unexpected twists and pained knots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAnd as the years passed, more and more homemade bunny masks have made their way into the crowd, fans around the world eager to join the journey, singing along--even if Batz’s lyrics are more impressionistic than crystalline sentences. “People write out my lyrics all the time and they’re always wrong,” he says. “But even still, they capture the feeling.” Therein lies the sublime magic of \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ci\u003eSleep Party People\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e, a record that conveys equal depth and power to countless listeners despite no two seeing it exactly the same way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e- Lior Phillips\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sleep Party People","offers":[{"title":"Pale-Gold Vinyl + Digital (Includes instant digital download in high quality MP3, AIFF \u0026 WAV.)","offer_id":32658844844103,"sku":"JNR241_SPP_LP-C1","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Digital (Instant digital download in high quality MP3, AIFF \u0026 WAV.)","offer_id":32658840682567,"sku":"JNR241_digital","price":9.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"VIP","offer_id":32658840649799,"sku":"JNR241_SPP_VIP","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0844\/5451\/products\/JNR241ReissueCoverArtFINAL.jpg?v=1614970810"},{"product_id":"heap-of-ashes","title":"Heap of Ashes","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"section group\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv valign=\"top\" style=\"vertical-align: top;\" class=\"col span_1_of_2\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"width: 100%; margin: 0px; padding: 8px 0px 6px 8px; background-color: #a9a9a9; color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Oswald', sans-serif; font-size: 24px; font-weight: 300; line-height: 100%; text-transform: uppercase;\"\u003eTrack Listing \/ Listen\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- BANDCAMP EMBED --\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top: 15px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 25px 0px 0px 0px; overflow: hidden; border-top: 1px solid grey; height: 400px;\"\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"Bandcamp player\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=494035131\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=ffffff\/artwork=none\/transparent=true\/\" style=\"position: relative; top: -75px;\" border=\"0\" height=\"600\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- END BANDCAMP EMBED --\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 15px 0px 0px 0px;\"\u003e\n\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aQgHXGnXX2U\" height=\"400\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e \u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zON5FHe7PU0\" height=\"400\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e \u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SB_DSe2Wrb0\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt Won't Be Cinematic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/lnk.to\/spp-tideWE\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eTide\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/lnk.to\/spider-cracksWE\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSpider Cracks\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMoldering Fragments (feat. k Hover of Sound of Ceres)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo. 3147\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLabyrinth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParched Bodies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePagan Flames\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeedle (feat.
