Their music style is rooted in indie rock and has ambient and occasional shoegaze elements. Performances have been described as "entirely honest" and "deeply moving" with "captivating ambiance". While playing live, the band attempts to make the listener as much a part of the music as the band themselves by encouraging everyone to sing along.

They were nominated for two Juno Awards of 2008 and took home one of them: Alternative Album of the Year, and New Group of the Year (which they won).

Weighty Ghost
by Wintersleep

I got out of bed today
Swear to God I couldn't see my face
I got out of bed today staring at a ghost
Who forgot to float away
Didn't have all that much to say
Wouldn't even tell me his own name
And where'd my body go

Where oh where'd my body go?
Africa or Mexico?
Where or where'd my body go?
And where'd my body go?

Oh, have you seen my ghost?
Seen my ghost, seen my ghost
Oh, have you seen my ghost?
Staring at the ground
Oh, have you seen my ghost?
Seen my ghost, seen my ghost
Oh, have you seen my ghost?
Sick of those goddamn clouds

Are you some kind of medicine man
Cut the demons out of my head
You can't kill something that's already dead
So leave my soul alone
I don't need no surgery
Take those knives away from me
Just wanna die in my own body
A ghost just needs a home

Oh, have you seen my ghost?
Seen my ghost, seen my ghost
Oh, have you seen my ghost?
Staring at the ground
Oh, have you seen my ghost?
Seen my ghost, seen my ghost
Oh, have you seen my ghost?
Sick of those goddamn clouds

Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na

Oh, have you seen my ghost?
Seen my ghost, seen my ghost
Oh, have you seen my ghost?
Staring at the ground
Oh, have you seen my ghost?
Seen my ghost, seen my ghost
Oh, have you seen my ghost?
Sick of those goddamn clouds

Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
