Brisbane artist Vancouver Sleep Clinic has offered another taste from his much-anticipated forthcoming album with latest release ‘Blood Money’, out today via Believe. The closing track explores the inner turmoil of letting go and the process of finding a resolution and hope for the future.

Describing the track Tim says, “Blood Money is a moment of closure and finality, coming to terms with a situation that left you broken and salvaging some kind of peace and hope for the future.”

Following on from previous releases ‘The Flow’ and ‘Love You Like I Do’, Tim boldly blurs the lines between styles and genres, mixing elements of rowdy indie rock, sophisticated folk, bumping R&B, sweeping film soundtracks, and anything else at hand.

Across its ten tracks, Fallen Paradise weaves threads of expansive storytelling with sophisticated production and arrangements. The album is grounded in real life experience and an embrace of accessible nuance and intimacy when it comes to the overall song writing.

The guiding creative force behind Vancouver Sleep Clinic, one of the great under-the-radar success stories of the last couple of years,

Inspired by the concept of liminal space and a central idea of existing somewhere in the middle of two different worlds, the new album not only provides an insight into Bettison’s creative flow during lockdown but offers up a picture of him at his purest.

Conceptualising the material and laying down the foundations for the album in Australia before relocating to London at the beginning of 2021 to record, working alongside producer Charlie Perry (Jorja Smith, BTS), Bettison found himself in a creative space he’d never been in before. Since 2016’s Vapour EP release, Vancouver Sleep Clinic quickly became a festival and live favourite, ensuring that Bettison was kept consistently on the road or in the studio fleshing out an already promising catalogue of work.

“This is the first time I’ve really reached full peace with myself as an artist. I think that just being in that whirlwind of seven, eight years has just been relentless. Naturally, for anyone going from that period of being a teenager to their mid-20s, it’s a crazy period of change. I never gave myself that time to be at peace with who I was or with what I wanted to be doing. I think that’s the biggest thing with this album, I had the time to just reflect on everything, who I’d become.”

Fallen Paradise is authenticity in musical form: a perfect way for Bettison to move forward, further into this new decade of ideas and sounds.

“I began to trace back the roots of why I wanted to start making music. A lot of that got lost along the way, as it naturally does when things get crazy. It was a chance for me to step back and fully try and get a grasp on what it is and what the essential core of me doing this was; what made it so enjoyable and cathartic for me. Finding the source of that and using it in the next project; taking my time and making sure that the next project is exactly what I wanna do. It’s the most at peace I’ve been with something I’ve made and probably the most fun I’ve had. It just sounds like me.”
