After a bunch of hard work and dilligence, I present to you a weird wild world as envisioned by SLEEPiES. Approximately a year ago I was in a basement in Brooklyn having my mind expanded by these gentlemen. A year changes a lot of things, when SLEEPiES and I first talked we were going to just do a 7" of songs they had already recorded, but I feel we both knew they could do something much better. A kickstarter, some hilarious mishaps and a bunch of effort later the LP is done, and out. SLEEPiES remind me a lot of that band that came before Drive Like Jehu called Pitchfork. Oddly enough the record was mentioned in Pitchfork. Comparisons are all over the place but I hear something very original when I listen to this band, and this record. It's hard to innovate in a sea of mediocore bands but I feel as if SLEEPiES definitely do. Join me in this celebration and let your freak flag free in the Weird Wild World. Engineered by Ben Greenberg, mastered by Josh Bonati, pressed at Bill Smith Custom Records with nice full color LP jackets and center labels. No expenses spared! Listen to a track here: http://soundcloud.com/jeffry-engberg/sleepies-cool-boy Here is a neat music video that was made for the LP, it is neat! SLEEPiES are on a tour to support the LP and have copies with them. Go out to a show and buy one if you got a chance!
