From the very first seconds of the opening track "Graffiti Palace", this album establishes itself as one of the clearest and strongest in the band's discography. Eric Deleporte embraces his new ambitions and deploys his unique songwriting across 10 panoramic and dreamy songs.
7 years after "Black Condensed" and 31 years after a debut album "Icy Morning in Paris" released on the legendary French label Lithium (1994), "The Sharp Bones of my Sleep" marks a significant turning point in the band's history. The heartbreaking melodies are deeper than ever in Perio's work and evoke the best of US indie (Deerhunter, Devendra Banhart…), punk and new-wave ghosts, and the urban poetry so dear to Eric Deleporte.
"Perio is a rare band. Because it sounds like no other, resolutely Franco-American, in a folk vein that spans the gap between tradition as recorded in Harry Smith's Anthology of American Folk Music and resolutely contemporary sounds." La Blogothèque
