The Cabaret Quicksand/ "All You Ever Wanted to Know (Sleeper 1973)"

New single from The Cabaret Quicksand, "All You Ever Wanted to Know (Sleeper 1973)"

The Skinny Review:   

There are some cool and interesting instruments in this one, including sitar. It creates something really unique. Listen a few times to get the full effect and take it all in, and you'll likely have this stuck in your head awhile.

In Their Own Words: 

"The song is a fantasy about what it would be like if your older, experienced, wiser self could advise your younger self about the decisions you should make while living your life. 

Would it be a good or bad idea to push you through all of that stuff undamaged or should you fall down and make those mistakes on your own? In a nutshell, the mature character is preaching to his younger self. What would it feel like waking up, say hundreds of years later in the world and trying to exist.

That idea came from a Woody Allen film from 1973 called Sleeper. We thought originally that the song might have been recorded in a fairly basic form until it started to take on a life of its own in the studio with a sitar, Moog synths, aboriginal instruments and a plethora of percussion.

That’s my favourite part of the recording process. You’re not sure where it’s headed but it’s pulling you in a direction that you just go with.”
