sleepmakeswaves release new song ‘Into The Arms of Ghosts’

Australian post-rockers SLEEPMAKESWAVES have released a brand new song!

The new song, titled Into The Arms of Ghosts, is taken from the band’s upcoming studio record Made of Breath Only which is scheduled to be released in April. Speaking about the new song, guitarist Otto Wicks-Green says, “this track was one of the last songs to come together on the record, despite comprising some parts that were amongst the first to be written (the lead melody for instance). It’s one of the darker and heavier moments on the album and deals more directly with feelings around loss and adjustment to that. The soaring lead lines made our producer Nick joke that it should be the soundtrack to someone jumping off a mountain in a parachute before landing in a stadium with a guitar. We should really try and get that happening.”
