‘The Dredges’ is an unapologetic and dynamic offering of instrumental rock from Virginia's ‘The Sleeping Cliffs’. Released in 2024, the album fearlessly blends groove based rock, post-rock, indietronica, and neo-psychedelic elements across ten genre-defying tracks. From the energetic pop sensibility of "Who Invited the Postmaster General" to the melancholic intensity of post-rock offerings like "Forget What I Said" and "It's Over," the album navigates emotional extremes with precision. Bass-heavy grooves, vintage 70s keyboards, and layers upon layers of guitars braiding and cascading melodies throughout, whether it's the funk-infused drive of "Isms," the uplifting energy of "Cactus Fire," or the dreamy retro fusion of "Gold Thread." The Sleeping Cliffs push boundaries by seamlessly weaving live instrumentation with electronic textures, crafting an album that's both introspective and explosive, nostalgic yet futuristic.
