Austin duo Slept All Day may be new on the scene, but don’t sleep on them. Together, the two create moving soundscapes a la Bonobo and Washed Out. And they use their vocals as an element of the scape instead of its driving force. And despite the electronic instrumentation and vocal effects, the music is very terrestrial, like pairing psilocybin with a sunset seen from an oceanside cliff.
Slept All Day recently crowdfunded enough money to take their music east to play stages across Japan (in fact, they’re leaving on a jet plane today!). But they’ve left us with a parting gift, a song from their debut album Learning How to Sink.
“Asteria” is on Learning How to Sink, out now.
