"hold tight just now..."
"Light Leaks" from the Danish progressive rock trio The Sleepings spirals down surreal dissonant places while not afraid to build sparkling ascensions that have dream pop flights of fancy too. It all feels so smile inducing, injecting the kind of youthful whimsy that for some of us might of gotten covered by the cynical armor of life. At one point after heavy punches and piercing staccato lead guitar sustains, the piano runs away first and then the whole song is running down dark streets and into bright lights. The feeling is grand, beautifully cinematic and until it all ends too abruptly.
Dig the imagery and the depth of sounds.

The Sleeplings are a Danish prog-rock trio whose sound is as vibrant as it is dark, as introverted as it is uncompromised. Taking inspiration from southern gothic and early 1900s impressionism, their art is a blend of bittersweet indie-folk spirit and atmospheric, decisive rock structures.
The band officially debuted in 2017 with a critically acclaimed album Elusive Lights of the Long-Forgotten. With Steen Lauridsen on drums, Peter Just on piano/synth-bass and Jesper Kragh as the frontman on vocals and guitar, their debut full-length proved to be a delight even for the most demanding listeners and critics. Having received a wonderful five star rating from GAFFA, one of Denmark’s biggest music magazines, it was widely recognised by local and international media, including RockZeit or P4 DK Radio.
Undoubtedly, The Sleeplings are far from being amateurs in what they do, thanks to their carefully curated eerie and romantic compositions. By September '22 the band will release a shiny new EP, from which Light Leaks is the first single.
