A Lily is the Google-unfriendly moniker of James Vella, who returns here with his
fifth album under that name. 'Sleep Through the Storm' concerns itself with the
dark times we live through (in the future we'll be able to pretty easily date-stamp
albums to 2020) and sees Vella produce exploratory patterns of repetitive synth which
have great emotional resonance despite the lack of lyrics.
