Vancouver Sleep Clinic is a project led by an Australian ambient and electronic singer/songwriter, Tim Bettinson.

Born in 1996, Bettinson grew up in Brisbane listening to his father’s classic Fleetwood Mac and Eagles records before discovering more modern artists like Bon Iver and Sigur Ros in his teens.

Inspired, he began writing his own songs, recording with a keyboard and computer. In 2013, he uploaded the song “Vapour” online, where it caught on, drawing thousands of plays.

A follow-up EP, Winter, also garnered considerable attention and by 2014, Bettinson had begun playing live shows, including making an appearance at Austin’s SXSW festival. In 2016, Bettinson delivered Vancouver Sleep Clinic’s full-length debut, Revival.

Onwards to Zion, VSC’s sophomore album released in 2019, bears a distinctly collagic sonic palette, encompassing everything from ethereal atmospherics to psychedelic synth tones to hazy samples of ’60s jazz-pop records.
