Brooklyn-based trio SleapingDreaming has released a music video with the song ‘Ring of Fireflies.’ The track will appear on the band’s upcoming album “M. Inclemens,” scheduled for release March 26, 2021.
SleapingDreaming is described as a post-rock, shoegaze and post-metal trio. ‘Ring of Fireflies‘ features a dreamy, psychedelic sound that builds into a final guitar wall of sound part.
“Like much of the lyrical content on the album, ties back to a sense of dreamy detached surrealism. But in this case the song is also about ownership of one’s inner angels and devils. The idea being that while one pulls you forward with niceness and love (angels) and the other kicks you in the teeth and abuses you (devils), both ultimately result in you being better and stronger,” states the band.
SleapingDreaming started as an informal side-project focused on experimentation with sound and texture. It initially constituted several members without specific instrument assignments or musical goals. Over time, roles within the band became more defined as a two piece focused on a layered live experience with active integration of pre-recorded loops and electronic noise elements.
In mid-2017, SleapingDreaming opted to bring on a third member to focus specifically on the low-end. From that point the band took on a more traditional feel. The group’s music is mostly instrumental and tends to be slow moving, defined by hypnotic evolutions, layering and density.
Its upcoming album “M. Inclemens” was recorded during the peak of COVID-19 lockdown in May 2020, in a big empty house that was undergoing renovation.
