At first I thought it was just a night terror, but it’s really a psychological landscape. Wardrobes become never-ending labyrinths in which to hide playgrounds stretch into vast wildernesses with a gnarled playground. The journey ahead winds through an increasingly surreal and sinister environments, which is actually a big part of what Among The Sleep is trying to achieve.
