Following on from his contribution to Floating Foundation Vol. 2 on Sub Rosa, 'Rain/ A Leaf Spiral' is the first album-length release for Sub Rosa from Dublin based artist Hard Sleeper, aka Peter Maybury.

Maybury would qualify his music as "the detritus of pop": tentative shapes and melodies are pieced together through fragments of dislocated sounds. Drums, piano, analog synthesizers and guitars allowing music and images to travel a parallel journey through dreamy landscapes drifting in and out of focus - as if memories or thoughts that come to you while traveling, passing from waking to sleeping and through states of semi-consciousness.
