Tonight music is off the album Labyrinthine Heart from Justin Elswick aka Sleepthief. From the press release... "Driven by the desire to write real songs, and to work with and create music with other artists he's admired or whose career he's followed, Justin Elswick aka Sleepthief created a masterpiece of renaissance imagery and melodic pop that has since been modeled as a 'new and emerging genre', when in fact, his music is quite simple in its form, but textured and produced so masterfully, you'd think an entire symphony was on board for most tracks."
