 "Sleepthief is the new electronic/vocal musical project of
producer/composer Justin Elswick and co-producer Israel Curtis. Similar to
Balligomingo and Delerium, Sleepthief combine
pulsating rhythms, sonic string textures, synth vibes, and a bevy of eleven
beautiful female vocalists to create an exhilerating listening experience.
(...) Sleepthief (a.k.a. Justin Elswick) may be an anomaly in the music
industry- a full-time attorney who has somehow found the tenacity and creative
inspiration to create a lush and innovative e-pop vocal album where he brings
together his wish list of amazing vocalists. His deep love of epic,
transcendent-style electronic/ worldbeat/ ethereal music has forged an epic,
mysterious body of work that blurs the boundaries between electronica, pop, and
ambient. "

"Not since the Balligomingo album 'Beneath The
Surface' have we had such a vast collection of stunning female vocalists
accompanying equally enticing electronic arrangements. Sleepthief's debut album
The Dawnseeker has thirteen tracks that can also be called aural nectar and
sonic ambrosia. Yes, the album is auditory nirvana. Whatever words fans
ultimately select, it is likely that all will agree that this long-awaited
full-length debut release by Sleepthief sets a new benchmark in the genre of
electro-pop music."
-- Russ Elliot, musicaldiscoveries.com

a new artist. The remarkable lineup includes: Kirsty Hawkshaw (DJ Tiesto,
Delerium, Pole Folder), Caroline Lavelle
(Radiohead, Loreena McKennitt, Massive Attack), Harland (Delerium, Human II
