about
Sleeping Pictures was a British dark-folk duo comprising Marc Blackie (previously in Defacato and subsequently in Lark Blames and as These Papercuts) and Gary Parsons who met whilst both living in South London in the mid-ninties. Their music was initially noisy/experimental, but following chance meetings, concerts and collaborations the pair began a fitful affair with the neo-folk genre, which saw the release of their first album "Nether Edge", with contributions from Hunter Barr, John Murphy, Renée Rosen, Tony Wakeford and Matt Howden. This was followed with a session largely comprising of new material for French radio, but soon the pair realised that they found the neo-folk genre too restricting and so these songs where largely scrapped in favor of a new direction, which can be heard on the soon to be released "Many Hands Should Throw Stones" album. Blackie has worked with Lloyd James of Naevus as Lark Blames and with his own solo project These Papercuts. Parsons has played with Sol Invictus on a number of releases as well as in concert and also performs with Thor's Helmet and as a solo artist under the name of Kyper Belt.
