I saw them live this past Saturday and it is definitely worth it. They sound really good and they were all into it. Plus, there was some pretty impressive facial hair.

Dude, they have songs titled "(nerves normal, breath normal)" and "Danse Macabre" and "Jaws Of Life" and their first two albums look like this:
Pretty dark aesthetic on the first record especially.
EDIT: For the record, the second album here is the one that everyone refers to as "their untitled record."

Here's the untitled album:

It is in .m4a so I'm sorry to you folks out there too good for iTunes.

The Cheesinator:
A pair of my friends went to V Fest here in Toronto, Wintersleep performed, and for about three months, all I heard was "Oh my god, wintersleep is SO AWESOME!" from like all of my indie oriented friends. Initially I resisted liking them, probably to stick out from the crowd. But eventually I caved, and I strongly enjoy a few of their songs now. They are supposed to be immense live. (Not actually physically immensely, but you probably get the idea.) I haven't listened to the new album.
On a side note, I was going up to Muskoka (for those of you that don't know, its a really nice cottaging area around Lake Huron/Georgian Bay in Ontario), and it was really misty and foggy and rainy, and Wintersleep was perfect. The first two albums really give off a "great wild north" feel, I find. Nothing illustrates that better than traveling through the forests and rocky outcroppings of the Canadian Shield and having Nerves Normal, Breath Normal pounding in your ears.
