A recommendation for music before you sleep

I can not sleep unless I am listening to music and to me the best sleepytime music is the kind that is spacey or creepy. I am not as familiar with the second half of Slint’s masterpiece, Spiderland, as I am with the first half, because just about anytime I listen to that record I am getting ready to fall asleep. Recently, I have been enjoying Do Make Say Think’s most recent album, The Other Truths. Of the four tracks on the album, I only feel comfortable talking about the first two, because in all honesty, those are the only two tracks that I have listened to in full consciousness. However, I can say that those two tracks are balls to the wall delicious. DMST are typically a more jazzy incarnation of their Constellation colleagues, but on The Other Truths they have moved into a more straight up rock direction. The typical twangy guitar riffs we have all come to love from DMST are still there, but they are more defined and methodical. There is also a lovely layer of fuzz on the album that immediately qualifies it for your voyage to dreamland.
