Sleepless Nights by Anything Ever

Anything Ever's debut Sleepless Nights is a project that has spanned the group's entire lifespan, with tracks like "I Still Remember" and "No Surprise" originating from the earliest collaborative songwriting of Max Barnard and Nick Devoe in 2019. The title track and long-time favorites such as "In My Dreams", "Jangle", and "Shooting Stars" would be some of the first the group would fully develop with drummer James Crugnale, all being played live by the ensemble from their earliest shows. Hard rockers "Meanwhile" and "So Far Away" were others that were fleshed out prior to their live debut. "Narcissus" and "Sunlight" were shown the light of day once bassist Dylan Taganas joined the band, with introspective and melancholy lyricism to match their contemplative pace, with the acoustic ballad "All That You Wanted" soon to follow. "Turn Back Time" was long at risk of being dropped entirely from the album, but after some last minute revisions found itself once again in the good graces of the band and released as a single.

The recording process was lengthy and chaotic, spanning from June 2024 to March 2025. Recorded at The Mighty Toad Recording Studio in Brooklyn, sessions saw extreme temperatures in both directions and a plentitude of conflict and stress. With persistence and assistance from Eric Crugnale, the same man who years prior connected his nephew James to the others, the band was eventually able to wrap up their ambitious project and return their focus to writing, rehearsing, and performing their constantly expanding catalog, now accompanied by keyboardist Cole Fortier.
