sleepmakeswaves release new song ‘Zelda’

SLEEPMAKESWAVES have released a brand new song!

The new song, titled Zelda, is the brand new song from the Australian post-rock band and is taken from their forthcoming Out of Hours EP which forms part of the band’s these are not your dreams trilogy, due out on 17th July.

The new song is a unique shift in sound for the usually entirely instrumental band – it features a prominent lead vocal line throughout the song. With lyrics penned and sung by guitarist Otto Wicks-Green, it’s the first true foray into traditional lead vocal territory for the band.

Speaking about the new collection, the band says, “these are not your dreams refers to how modern life is rubbish and the internet is invading our brains. It’s control through disorientation and the manipulation of ‘your dreams.’ Every song from this series has been an experiment in how far we can push ourselves creatively and sonically… because what else is there?

There’s so much going on all the time, why do people need more? We’ve set ourselves the challenge of answering that question every day we’ve worked on our material. And we wanted to work harder than ever to justify it in an age of limitless novelty. We’re producing all of these as a one-time limited edition release & we’re happy to be using recycled materials to produce these physical products wherever possible, as well as offsetting the carbon footprint for the other merch packages. It’s been a long time coming. If you’re still here, we hope you understand how grateful we are to have your support after all these years. We’re proud and excited to share this with you, and we want to thank our dear friend and manager Mike for sticking with us to see this through. That’s it from us.”

these are not your dreams full record is set for release on July 17th via Bird’s Robe Records & Monotreme Records (for ITAWT & ASWDE outside Aus).
