For its latest release, Rockabye Baby weaves the triple-platinum UK synth-pop group’s moody, trance-like tunes into a warm blanket of glockenspiel, vibraphone and bells. The brooding quality of Depeche Mode classics like “Personal Jesus” or “Enjoy The Silence” now rings gently but on all 12 of these DM lullabies, the trademark melodies are untouched. Its as though Rockabye Baby invented acoustic synth-pop!

Leave it to Rockabye Baby to find a way to turn these songs into lullabies with Rockabye Baby! Lullaby Renditions of Van Halen.

Hitting shelves today, Rockabye Baby’s latest release in their ever-expanding canon of lullaby CDs finally takes on one of rock ‘n’ roll’s most famous bands. From 1977 to 1986, The Police released five albums yielding hits that became ingrained in pop culture consciousness. Almost anyone knows the introductory arpeggio to “Every Breath You Take” – and who doesn’t know and love “Roxanne” or “Don’t Stand So Close to Me?” Now imagine those songs rendered instrumental with the sounds of glockenspiel, bells, vibraphone, Mellotron and harp – it’s relaxing already!
