Announcing: Sleeping Bag, Deep Sleep LP streaming now


Announcing… Sleeping Bag "Deep Sleep"

to be released August 19th
on Joyful Noise Recordings


Listen to the full album stream now on My Old Kentucky Blog.


Sleeping Bag sounds different. On the Bloomington, Indiana band's third LP, "Deep Sleep", Dave Segedy (the group's drummer, songwriter and primary vocalist) has taken the band into heavier, more epic territory. The sunny jangling guitars and fun whistle choruses from their debut full-length "Sleeping Bag" and critically aclaimed sophomore release "Women of Your Life" are gone; obliterated in a full on fuzz-guitar assault. Dave sings, "I want to free the dog that I am." and he means it.

Segedy's signature pop songwriting style is still in full effect, now brought to life by guitarist Tyler Smith and bassist Glenn Meyers. Tracks like "Hush" and "Wrestle" exemplify Sleeping Bag's honest, bedroom-pop approach and Malkmus-deadpan vocal delivery, but compared to the sunny disposition of the previous records "Deep Sleep" sounds downright tuff.

Drenched in distortion & reverb, the album culminates with the nine-minute closer, "The Portal" - an epic shred-fest, equal parts My Bloody Valentine & Weezer "Only In Dreams". It's quite an affair.

Listen to the first single "Wrestle" at The AV Club

Deep Sleep will be released 8/19/14 on Vinyl, CD & Digital formats.
