Of the song, the band says:
"The track is in regards to political/ideological tribalism we're seeing in the United States. People surrounding themselves in an echo chamber of like minded thinkers and information outlets that cater to their beliefs. It's not taking any sides, but just commenting on the polarization and rise of tribalism we're seeing. I think it's dangerous, because your average person who may have a less "all or nothing" view of controversial subjects, are too afraid to to speak for fear of being demonized / bullied by one side or the other. There's historical precedents to what we're currently seeing in the United States, and they usually don't end well. There's a lot of shouting, name calling, and shaming rather than intelligent civil discourse. I think a lot of this is caused by confirmation bias."
Sleeping Tongues is: Craig Kepen (Songwriting, Vocals, Guitar/Bass/Instruments), Alex Chung (Drums/Percussion), Chris Castellano (Guitar) and Evan Ignatz (Keyboards, Bass).
