Arms & Sleepers’s Bio

Arms and Sleepers started one night in the back of an ambulances destined for Hampton Road in Boston's South Side. In an alleyway a man was bleeding with a cassette player in hand, the play button still on. What sounded like recordings of a gospel choir blared from the tin speaker while down the street, a jazz band could be heard. The man was dying. He dropped the cassette player on the cement and closed his eyes, the sound carrying through the air into his ears for one last time. Though this moment in time died with him, his cassette lived on, and Arms and Sleepers was born.

Bliss Was It In That Dawn To Be Alive (Fake Chapter Records) is Arms and Sleepers' first full-length release and their 2nd, Black Paris 86 is out November 2007 on the German label, Expect Candy.

Arms & Sleeper are Max Lewis (programming, keyboards) and Mirza Ramic (bass, keyboards), combined with visuals by Boston artist Dado Ramadani.

"Bliss Was It In That Dawn To Be Alive is a cinematic and largely engaging concoction that works as well as moody background music as it does introspective headphone listening."

"Bliss Was It In That Dawn To Be Alive is a nicely focused effort that glows with warmth and intimacy and carries with it a hint of mystery and intrigue."
