View from the Outside LP

View from the Outside is Sleepwalk’s new one, tracked at Earth Analog, the Tolono, Illinois studio that belongs to Hum’s Matt Talbot. The Chicago band runs a thick, gloomy strain of shoegaze and ’90s alternative rock, pulling from Hum, Failure, and Quicksand, pristine verses that collapse into distorted, weighted choruses. Lead single "Sandbox" sets the tone, and the whole thing lands on MNRK Heavy.
