Chantal Acda has been performing and recording under the name Sleepingdog since 2006. Polar Life is her second album following her debut Naked in a Clean Bed, which was released back in 2006. On both these records Chantal has worked with Adam Wiltzie (Stars of the Lid/Dead Texan). Adam has become an essential part of the music, bringing his trademark soundscapes and strings into the songs and handling production duties. Wiltzie suggested to select for Polar Life only those songs in which beats are all but absent, so the subdued pureness and the unity of the atmosphere of the album go beyond the limits of New-Folk and Folktronica. Gizeh Records.
