Recorded in London, it follows on from the successful trilogy of EPs released in 2007. Born in Coleraine, Northern Ireland, Dale started his first band Catchers while at school. Their debut album ‘Mute’ was recorded with Mike Hedges in France and released on Setanta Records. Dale went on to tour with Pulp, Edwyn Collins, The Divine Comedy, Dr. John and Oasis. Catchers recorded their second album ‘Stooping to Fit’ with Nick Drake’s arranger Robert Kirby.
The Sleeping Years’ music has been featured on BBC Radio 1’s Introducing, in the Guardian writers’ playlist and on a cover mount with Rolling Stone magazine. Dale has also been heavily played on Gideon Coe's BBC 6music show and on French radio – with each EP being championed by Bernard Lenoir.
