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.

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.

In a way I am glad I missed this, but just ordered in hopes I get it sooner than later.

What does that even mean?

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.
