Wintersleep formed in 2001. Originally from the small town of Yarmouth, Nova Scotia , members Paul Murphy and Tim d’Eon had known each other through their previous progressive rock band, Kary, which they formed in the mid-1990s, while still in high school, with drummer Mark d’Eon and bassist Jesse Luke. Kary released two official albums, The Sound of Beauty Breathing in 2001 and Light in 2004, before disbanding. Murphy was friends with drummer Loel Campbell, a native of Stellarton , with whom he recorded a number of songs. Tim d’Eon and bassist Jud Haynes soon joined them, and they named themselves Wintersleep. They released two albums through Dependent Music , a label and artist collective formed in Yarmouth , Nova Scotia in 1994.
