Sleepersound

 Sleepersound are from Milwaukee, WI, Chicago, IL, and thereabouts which give deep music heads the ability to make soundtracks for the movies in their own minds. Listening to their new album ’In Media Res’ feels like hearing what creative young people do in response to the snowed-in and/or super-hot lethargy of the area — extremities forcing friends to hole themselves up in garages and crawl into basements to communicate with each other through building layers of cinematic images through musical instruments. They fight the elements from without by making things elemental within.  If you’re imaging the twin guitar attack of early Television, the multi-media tendencies of Mission of Burma, or the arch instrumental prowess of Mogwai, you’re not far off. This is another band for those who getting their heads lost in sound is a must, as necessary to their record collection as well-known classics by Radiohead or Pink Floyd. But without sounding much like any of these. They sound exactly 100% Sleepersound, the kind of band you love to discover for yourself, and for themselves.
