Sleep On It announce new album ‘Pride & Disaster’

SLEEP ON IT have announced a new album!

Titled Pride & Disaster, is the follow-up to 2017’s Overexposed and is scheduled to be released in September this year.

With Pride & Disaster, the band harnesses the strength and vulnerability of the human spirit. Over the course of ten songs, they makes a case for enjoying life, even when times are tough, and never shying away from your truth. “One of the big things we focused on when making this record was not only writing sad songs,” vocalist Zech Pluister says. “Going along with the theme of growth, we wanted to show that there is more to life than just being sad. As hard as life is, there are still good days, and we really wanted that thought to be present in this record. It doesn’t seem fair to us to only portray the hard times.”

The positivity found throughout Pride & Disaster adds a silver lining to an album that is also unafraid to address the problems that many, including the band, face with mental health. “We’re trying to be better every day,” adds guitarist TJ Horansky. “And that’s what a lot of our songs are about. We want to be better people. We want to improve ourselves, and we want to help the people around us improve as well.”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, SLEEP ON IT have released a new music video for the first single from the upcoming album; titled Under the Moment. The track was produced by Mike Green (ALL TIME LOW, 5 SECONDS OF SUMMER, SET IT OFF). Speaking about the track, vocalist Zech Pluister says, “at its core, the song is a cry for help. I spent a lot of the last year struggling with my depression and anxiety, and without even realizing it I had fallen deeper than I really even noticed into those things. ‘Take my hand pull me again’ is a plea to anyone listening. The song also really tells the story of the struggle between the denial of those mental health issues, saying you’re fine, lying to loved ones to cover for yourself; and asking those same people for help from under the crushing weight of each day.”
