The Big Sleep Get To Sleep Forever In February + MP3
By: Spacelab Research Staff The Big Sleep are getting ready to launch their first big offering for Frenchkiss Records. It's called Sleep Forever and will be released on February 19th.
Sleep Forever was co-produced by Chris Coady (Yeah Yeah Yeahs, TV On the Radio) and the band, and recorded at Shorefire Studios in Long Branch, NJ. It's the first new release for The Big Sleep since 2006’s Son Of The Tiger.
Wanting to progress the band's sound further down the path of evolution, they and producer Chris Coady worked in a collaborative atmosphere without actually dwelling too long on the process.
"It was a different experience for us because we did everything so quickly, so there wasn't a lot of time to deliberate, and it felt good to just pick an idea and know you were committing to it. I also cut out a lot of feedback guitars, which was my usual way of filling in the spaces. It was something new and good to let the spaces stay. The whole record just generally feels more adventurous and like it strayed from our 'safety' areas," said guitarist Danny Barria when speaking to the Village Voice.
