about

The second and darkest album of Dan Familiar.

Semi-acoustic/electric nightmarish songs, haunting, and otherwordly guitars will guide you on a journey into a world between the living - and the dead.

Movies that partly inspired the mood for these songs:

"Nachtschatten" ("Nightshades") 1972 - partly inspired "Tomorrow's Yesterday", "Nobody's Home" (unreleased track), and the title track "Let sleeping thoughts lie".

“Alice ou la dernière fugue" (Claude Chabrol, 1977), "A Virgin Among the Living Dead" (Jess Franco, 1973), "Vampyres" (José Ramón Larraz, 1974), "Rose de fer" (Jean Rollin, 1973) partly inspired "The Hour runs late".
All characters of the above mention share the same destiny, they live in an intermediate world with no chance to escape - empty parks, cemeteries, castles, forests ...

Vampyr (Carl Theodor Dreyer, 1932) partly inspired "Draining shadow" - the "Doppelgänger" motif, the ever-accompanying shadow, that slowly drains up all life's energy...

Thirst (Rod Hardy, 1979) partly inspired "Meant to pass" - the original idea (blood draining) derives from the movie. This song's about a character, that is "lebensmüde" (tired of life) and wishes to have his blood drained...
