Nel Unlit are an indie/folk nine piece from the North East of England. They have made a folk opera "Wake for The Dreaming", based on Neil Gaiman's epic Sandman series of graphic novels.
It tells the story of Brant Tucker, who crashes his car and becomes lost walking in thick June snow before discovering a mysterious Inn that plays the setting for the rest of the record. In this Inn he is told stories by other peculiar guests. Tales of wily hangmen, vengeful elves, Christ like child presidents and more. It is these stories that make up the rest of the album before the story climaxes in the funeral of the God of Dream.
Drawing from their roots in rock, folk, theatre and classical music, they use all tools at their disposal to create vibrant portraits. Field recordings and grand orchestration are used to create immersive environments. A cast of singers play roles within the story, some of whom, having their own themes which recur throughout the record. As an independent project, recording required creativity and adaptability. They used bedrooms, beaches, a local social club/ music institution, The Westgarth Social Club and even a local museum (Dorman Museum).
