Brooklyn artist Michael Murphy, aka Sail By Night, recorded these songs in the winter of 2008. His songs have a definite dreamlike quality that is soothing, but not without a melancholic, lonely tone. Comparisons to Grizzly Bear and Bon Iver are inevitable, but Sail By Night is no imitation act. Murphy’s soft harmonies hover above spare guitar and drums, creating a sense of calm isolation. Released by small New York art publisher, Sleeves Commonwealth Press, this is just a taste of more Sail By Night to come. – Written by DBosket
