Sleepcrawler by Sleepcrawler

"'HTN' is like a dreampop and doom metal / post-rock amalgam, as thunderous guitar, grinding bass, and pulverizing drums give way to glistening shoegaze whenever Torres delivers his distraught, Jeremy Enigk-meets-Ken Stringfellow vocals. On the flip's 'Albatross,' Torres' luminous, Radiohead-like guitar melody lazily draws you in, before his languorous, apprehensive croon—punctuated by Hemingway's relentless high-hat and cymbal smacks—methodically builds to a fevered, Enigk-esque (think "Shade and the Black Hat") shriek."

Sleepcrawler is everything you'd expect from 2/3 ex-members of State Song (Phratry Records 2010-2014). Haunting and emotive vocals style with crushing guitars allowing for moments of beauty to weave in and out of the noise. While State Song was mostly driven by a lot of lead piano, Sleepcrawler is all guitars. Emotionally pummeling music for fans of Sunny Day Real Estate and Hum.
