The Sleeping Years debut album 'We're becoming islands one by one' is available to buy now.

'a record that only Bon Iver's ‘For Emma, Forever Ago’ has really rivaled in recent months. 'We're Becoming Islands One By One' could be remembered as one of 2008's best of its kind in years to come'. 8/10'' Drowned in Sound

'beautifully understated... one of Grundle's great strengths is his lyrics' BBC

'album of the year for me' Rory McConnell (BBC Radio 1)

'a one-man show that owes his lilting metaphysical lyricism to the likes of Nick Drake, Elliot Smith and John Martyn.
It's good to know that there are people like him out there' Dazed and Confused

'Just as Sufjan Stevens has been moved to celebrate the quirks and character of the United States, so Dale Grundle is devising his own charts, full of wonder, dread and reverie. Can't wait to see where he takes us next.' Stuart Bailie (BBC Radio)

''A truly lovely piece of work chock full of joyful instrumentation and evocative imagery. 4.5 out of 5' Subba Cultcha
