Sleepers – The Less An Object – Compact Disc

The Less An Object is an album by the American experimental rock band Sleepers, released in 1991. Sleepers was part of the underground music scene in the San Francisco Bay Area during the late 1980s and early 1990s and was known for their unconventional and genre-blurring approach to music.

One of the earliest San Francisco punk bands, the Sleepers were also one of the first U.S. outfits to stretch the boundaries of the style into what is recognized today as “post-punk.” Featuring the deep vocals and inscrutable lyrics of singer Ricky Williams (formerly a drummer with Crime), the Sleepers’ material stressed ominous atmosphere, throbbing bass lines, and quirky instrumental shifts that challenged the rigid bash-’em-out structures of early punk.

Particularly in their later days, their recordings looked forward to elements of goth rock, in both Williams’ increasingly Bowie-esque vocal delivery and the sophisticated electric guitar textures.

The Less An Object is characterized by its avant-garde and experimental sound, drawing from a wide range of influences, including post-punk, noise rock, and art rock. The album features a mix of dissonant guitar work, unpredictable song structures, and abstract lyrical themes.

Notable tracks from the album include “How Come” and “Bird of Prey,” which showcase Sleepers’ willingness to challenge musical conventions and embrace sonic experimentation.

Lyrically, Sleepers’ songs often featured abstract and poetic themes, adding to the enigmatic quality of their music. The album’s title, The Less An Object, reflects the band’s inclination toward exploring the boundaries of conventional songwriting and structure.

The Less An Object is appreciated by fans of experimental and underground music for its boundary-pushing and artistic qualities. The album captures the spirit of independent and alternative music during the era and reflects the band’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of their art.

The Sleepers’ obscurity is mostly attributable to their sparse output, which was limited to a 1978 EP, a single, and a 1981 LP, all on small labels with limited distribution. Williams, an instable character who was thrown out of an embryonic lineup of Flipper for being too weird, later sang with the Toiling Midgets, and died in 1992. Drummer Tim Mooney, also a member of Toiling Midgets, went on to work with American Music Club.
