AMG Review of No Solace in Sleep

Blake Butler
All Music Guide

Over an hour of complete droning solitude, perhaps like what the auditory sense would pick up in the womb. The eight tracks of this album are all the simplistic, yet intricately woven, creations of Jon de Rosa, whose intentions, as based on a quote in the liner notes, are to create something that inches slowly and quietly toward something grand and infinite, one step at a time. His mission could not have been more perfectly reached. Perhaps immaculate for executing as background or sleep-inducing, drifting off into nothing.
