SLUMBERWYRM, THE DROWSY DRAGON “Visit to the Aquarium” (self-released)


Know what I do after going to the aquarium, eating some barbecue, and drinking some fancy beer? I take a nap. A good, long nap. Or, if it’s in the evening, I head straight to bed for the night. I’m an early-to-bed-early-to-rise kind of guy. It’s how I roll.

For Steven and Steph, they make music. Delightfully droning guitar and flute and other stuff. Together they are Slumberwyrm, the Drowsy Dragon, and together they predict my every waking moment after doing the things discussed in the first paragraph.

But there’s coffee here. Fancy coffee.

I don’t need to wake up after a couple beers, I’m good, but if coffee keeps artists up long enough to record what they need to record, more power to them. Steven and Steph stayed up long enough to crank out some deep, droning jams. All the ingredients were in place. The duo used them wisely.
