Sleep Is a Luxury

by Martin Dupont

Sleep Is a Luxury cover art

Serving as a pinnacle of the French coldwave underground, this sophomore album utilizes intricate, layered analog synthesizers and rigid drum machines to craft a uniquely detached atmosphere. 'Sleep Is a Luxury' is characterized by Alain Seghir's deadpan, heavily accented English vocals and a striking blend of melancholy and danceable electronic rhythms. The incredibly obscure release became a highly sought-after rarity before a series of 21st-century reissues revived its legacy.
