Vancouver Sleep Clinic - "Flaws" (Winter EP)

The power and control that 17 year old Tim Bettison has over his falsetto is difficult to find. The vocal technique employed by the Brisbane teenager in his two tracks 'Collapse' and 'Vapour'  is hard not to compare to the likes of Justin Vernon who, in sorts, has made this type of falsetto singing his signature style.  

The two electronic based dream pop songs that Bettison has released bring forth imagery that the project's name alone create's as he self-describes as conjuring up 'imagery of long cold winters, of isolation and remoteness and the sometimes self-imposed reclusiveness in all of us as the days get shorter and we move into the bitter months ahead.'

I'm not sure what a 17 year old from Australia knows about cold winters but he emulates the same feeling that Justin Vernon did while recording in a cabin in Wisconsin and that is no easy feat.
