sleepmakeswaves release new song ‘Ritual Control

SLEEPMAKESWAVES have released a brand new song!

The new song, titled Ritual Control, is taken from the Australian post-rock band’s upcoming new album, It’s Here, But I have No Names For It, which is scheduled to be released in April this year.

Speaking about the new song, bassist/keyboardist Alex Wilson says, Ritual Control was first demoed as Dr. Riff Has Arrived. I still wonder whether we were mistaken to have not kept the old title. Otto [Wicks-Green, guitars] originally presented the song skeleton to us with the concern that maybe the riffs were ‘too dumb’. In fact, Tim [Adderley, drums] and I responded, they are the *perfect quantity* of dumb. Sure, these riffs aren’t going to earn a PhD. But they will hold down a full-time job, get the kids to school on time and read the occasional piece of challenging non-fiction on weekends. Courageous and heartfelt conversations like this are the core of what effective post-rock songwriting is all about. New album out next month.”

It’s Here, But I Have No Names For It is set for release on April 12th via Bird’s Robe Records/MGM and Dunk Records. Pre-orders are available now and can be purchased here.
