A really chill, laid back effort worthy of a listen or two, but nothing to put on the top shelf. Execution and songwriting are great.

There's something about this record that is so warm, so inviting, so comforting. Wintersleep is one of those bands who never get enough credit for the music they put out. "Welcome to the Night Sky" has everything that I love about music wrapped up into a neat, beautiful little record. Paul's incredibly simple yet warm melodies pop up all over the record exactly when you crave them, and the arrangements are simply breathtaking at some points. It's not a record that breaks any boundaries lyrically-though Paul is an excellent songwriter he's no Elliott Smith or Thom Yorke, but he still writes incredibly loveable, catchy music that is much better than it seems at the surface. "Welcome to the Night Sky" is a loveable, consistent, musically engaging album with melodies that can get stuck in your head for days, and it's not only Wintersleep's greatest achievement, but probably one of the most underrated rock albums in modern music. There's something so captivating about songs like "Oblivion" and "Laser Beams"; their songs that you want to listen too. This album is a true winner.

Definitely a progression for Wintersleep with more cohesive and catchier songs, though their indie souls will be missed as they sound to be heading into the dreaded "stadium rock" sound if they aren't careful.

Welcome To The Night Sky takes bits and pieces from genres like Folk & Post Rock compacting into 40 minutes, almost making an Indie Rock classic. Though it has no enormas flaws but there is still improvement that can be made. Paul’s voice can get boring, the whole album is kind of anti-climatic & brief but it is still an excellent listen that I would suggest to anyone. The mixture of pure poetry, edgy but ghostly guitarwork makes a beautiful yet simple atmospheric record that will leave you with a short breath of the night air.
