16oh Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 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!

AlexH. Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 This band is a good band. All of their releases have good music on them. I bought their newest LP and eagerly anticipate listening to it when it arrives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theshredhi Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 The music has a little of the San Diego sound, not a fan of the vocals for some reason. Like Keith Morris and Rich Froberg had a baby and the baby sounded weird singing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

16oh Posted October 3, 2012 Author Share Posted October 3, 2012 when do these ship? I don't check this board TOOO often but they should all be shipped or almost out at this point. We have been also shipping the bands kickstarter copies out as well (since those people put money down wayyyyyyyyyy in advance) to help them out (16oh wasn't originally going to do this) so maybe a bit behind as a result. Should be caught up though! If you aren't email me at jeffryxtron (at) gmail (dot) com and I'll check to see where your shipment is at.

I got my copy yesterday. Looks good. Still need to throw it in the washer / dryer but I'll probably be spinning it tonight. Cool! Stoked you are into it. Let me know if you dig the jams, I put a lot of effort into this record, pretty stoked on it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
