Over at Noisey, they've got the full album stream of Sleepies, Weird Wild World. I've been waiting for this one since being introduced to the "Evil Radio Edit" of single "Seriously."
Produced by The Men's Ben Greenberg, Weird Wild World is smart, funny, slightly off-kilter punk. Songs like "Cool Boy," "Strange Feelings," and "Waste Water" show a level of creativity and an attention to songcraft that make you think that maybe this isn't a typical punk band. Thomas Seely's guitar and, especially, vocals are front and center, but the virtuoso rhythm section of John Intrator (bass) and Max Tremblay (drums) -- particularly on songs like "Got a Way" and "Terra Firma" -- is a huge part of Sleepies' unique sound.
And the instrumental break in the unedited, album version of "Seriously" does a good job of summing up the personality of Sleepies in about a minute and fifteen seconds.
Weird Wild World will be available next Tuesday via GODMODE and on vinyl from 16oh.
