about

In light of Spring Cleaning, The Sleeps have decided to scrape off the dust on a couple old gems and let the people hear the early days of Big Wave sound. We hope you may appreciate the soft heart of our early songwriting, now turned callous in our maturity, and maybe give us more credit than we deserve for having "depth" or "sensitivity." Call it a ploy for accolades or a self-aggrandizing Dylanesque basement-tapes stunt. So long as you call it good music, we've done our job.
