Check Our Catalog“Natalie Merchant has used her abiding bibliophilia to inform her songwriting from the inception of her career. So it comes as no surprise that Merchant should embark on a project like Leave Your Sleep, an elaborate and painstaking 2-disc album of poetry set to music that started out as a comparatively simple lullaby record. But this labor of love (so exhaustively researched, so musically collaborative, so many years in the making) is not elitist or pedantic. It’s just beautiful and special.” –PopMatters
