The Dreamer and the Sleeper Q & A Series #001

From Miles Boinest: Does Autumn in the Evening have a different feel that Fireworks? Do you guys have any new musical influences that have affected the new album?

Answered by Nick: I would say that Autumn in the Evening has a very different feel to it than Fireworks but the general sound of our band has not changed much. I think we still sound like the Dreamer and the Sleeper, at least I hope we do. hah.

Fireworks was definitely recorded to sound good on a cd, Autumn in the Evening was written specifically so we could play it live as both a full band and as an acoustic set. A lot of the songs on Fireworks are really tough to play live acoustically without changing the entire song. (See: Villains, Kid Icarus, Kiss Kiss) On Autumn in the Evening we still have those types of songs, we just worked out how we were going to play them live first. Basically our whole writing process reversed. So I think that has a lot to do with the different feel of the two albums.
