Wintersleep, recently shared the first single off their current release In the Land Of now Available on all streaming services. “Beneficiary” is a throbbing disco-noir romp that details the genocide of Indigenous peoples and our modern relationship to it. ‘Drive to work all day, try to sleep at night / Beneficiary of a genocide’ vocalist Paul Murphy sings. The lyrics borrow from Australian writer Peter Carey, who in an interview last year asserted, “You wake up in the morning and you are the beneficiary of a genocide.” “As a Canadian, I feel a real connection to that sentiment,” says Murphy. “It really encapsulates the idea of someone historically removed from these atrocities but who nonetheless benefits, and has to come to terms with and find ways to acknowledge and take on a certain responsibility in making it right.”
On March 20th, Wintersleep will hit the road for a Canadian tour. .
