Initially, I didn&#8217;t expect to release even a single track, but as soon as &#8220;4 AM&#8221; arrived, I began to feel that this could become a modest but sweet collection of compositions created during some of my insomniac nights. I certainly don\u2019t wish to glorify sleep deprivation, but I felt that it would be more than appropriate to name the album &#8220;Sleepless&#8221; considering the subject matter and what it took to write the songs,&#8221; says Kristi\u0101ns.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When it comes to the themes and content of the songs, I think they are all well connected by their narrative nature. The tracks are like lullabies for adults or small etudes for anyone who could associate themselves to the protagonist or at least an observer,&#8221; adds Kristi\u0101ns.<\/p>\n<p>The EP came to being in several phases, combining the five tracks recorded over the last few years, including &#8220;Baby Lightning&#8221; which was released in January. Several musicians from a multitude of other projects participated in the recording of the album: Alise Golovacka (backing vocals, flute), Monta Sle\u017ee-Za\u013ckalne (violin), Oskars Jansons (guitar), R\u016bdolfs Ozols (guitar), J\u0101nis Ste\u0137is (bass guitar), Kalvis Sle\u017eis-Za\u013ckalns (drums) , R\u016bdolfs Da\u0146i\u013cevi\u010ds (drums). The album was recorded, mixed and mastered, as well as produced by Edvards Broders (Broders Audio) at &#8220;Red House&#8221; studio in Riga, Latvia.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/album\/3OkI9W1kvgSQFsDmiJvKgm?si=jcVZvKJkTAaoy9I8uj9YBQ\">Spotify<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Kristi\u0101ns first introduced himself to the music scene as the leader of the progressive\/indie rock band &#8220;Be Reet&#8221; (2013-2017).
