Scared of Sleep

Kansas City, Missouri

Scared of Sleep is Nightmericana. Haunted ambient soundscapes, utilizing deep baritone guitars, spooky loops, glitch, delay, and lots of reverb. Filling space and place with a Lynchian atmosphere, whether it's lilting, ethereal melodies layered together like lovesick clouds, or dissonant fever-dreams from the backroom of a dive bar. Improvisational hypnosis, meditational sonicalia, stereo somnambulism...


Sacerd of Sleep is the project of Krysztof Nemeth, the baritone guitarist / songwriter / producer behind Kansas City acts Reviser, Emmaline Twist, The Latenight Callers, and Abandoned Bells. The flavors of each of these bands comes together in Scared of Sleep, a repository of the shadow-self of Nemeth's musical influences.


Scared of Sleep is performed improvisationally as a game of chance, whether on his lonesome or collaborating with other ambient musicians. These soundscapes are best bathed-in immersively yet liminally....where the listener is welcomed in as if slipping into a dream state, transcending, looking for the big fish... Look for Scared of Sleep opening these portals in spaces made of brick, beams, books, and booze...
