Cape Sleep is the new moniker of Dutch artist Kim Janssen who previously released three albums under his own name.
The decision to take on a moniker might not come as much of a surprise to many who have heard Kim’s records and seen him on stage in the past, always surrounded by countless musicians, singers and collaborators.
It might just come down to Kim simply always having wanted to be in a band, and bands have band names. There’s also the songs, not always autobiographical and often full of magical realism with stories that conjure up fantastical scenes. A band name that might evoke an image or certain feeling seemed more fitting to put on the tin rather than just his own name.
Cape Sleep could be an old absurdist film you once saw a few minutes of at a rest stop, or some sort of garment, or a picturesque, coastal town that you read about in a story or visited in a dream.
