Finland's finest purveyor of expanded progressive pop melancholy, Underwater Sleeping Society are sleeping no more. The short hiatus the band went on after the album Dead Vegas (2008) streched to almost seven years of absence, and now, after last year's run of strong comeback shows around Finland UwSSoc have emerged from the studio, ready to unleash their fourth full length album, titled Instrumental Healthcare. Underwater Sleeping Society's chosen brand of art is what one could call "deep pop", a mixture of contagious, timeless pop melodies presented with the creative vigour of a progressive musician, all coated with a certain northern bittersweet melancholy. The band's first album Future On A Plate (2004) received high praise and drew comparisons to artists such as The Flaming Lips, Nick Drake and Super Furry Animals. The band's second album All Other Lights Go Out (2007), produced by Aku Rannila and 22-Pistepirkko's Asko Ker?nen, and the 2008 follow-up Dead Vegas took the band further, with several tours around Europe.
