Australian producer Tyson Kraft delivers a slice of smoked out indie-electronic on his latest cut “Before You Sleep.” Steeped a romantic mantra, this dreamy treat evolves with a future-retro feel and plays to the beat of contemporary R&B. After introducing itself as a mellowed-out gem, the track builds listeners up with a speedy snare only to drop into an atmospheric soundscape. “Before You Sleep” was built around a simple guitar riff Kraft assembled on a vintage electric guitar, later synthesized into the flighty version we can float on today. Idyllic lyricism ripples through the amicable swagger of “Before You Sleep,” creating an artistic space that is both innovative and familiar. A welcoming look into Tyson Kraft’s forthcoming album, this well-rounded single deserves the replay.
“You know that feeling when you’re really into someone, and you’re alone at night thinking, wow I wish I could be next to that person right now. Holding them and appreciating every waking moment that you’ve spent with them. That was basically the feeling I wanted to capture in this song.It was especially tricky because this was someone who was my friend, and there was a real and serious question-what would happen if I told this person how I really felt?” -Tyson Kraft
