Recorded during the quiet of late-night hours, Ben Hackett's debut album Songs for Sleeping Dogs arrives via Strolling Bones Records as a deeply immersive instrumental journey. Described as "a study of subconscious beauty," the 12-track record strikes a compelling balance between spontaneous creation and intentional simplicity — neither fully improvised nor overly rehearsed, but something entirely its own.
Across its runtime, Songs for Sleeping Dogs weaves together lo-fi guitar lullabies, carefree horns, dreamy folk tones, and ambient textures into a sound that feels both homespun and quietly adventurous. Tracks like "Nylon Bell Pot" and "Tombo Goes on a Walk and We Order Indian Food" carry a warm, ambling charm, while more experimental moments keep the listening experience fresh and unpredictable. This is music that acknowledges its influences while carving out something genuinely new.
