Sleepwalk share new single “Shell”

Chicago grungegaze band Sleepwalk have shared “Shell” and its official video. It’s the third single from View From The Outside, out November 13 via MNRK Heavy.

Following “Sandbox” and “Jan 22,” “Shell” pairs thick riffs and winding guitar leads with lyrics about wanting to be around people and finding it harder to let them in. “Discomfort being around people even though I do want to be around people,” says singer and guitarist Ryan Davis.

Since forming in 2015, Sleepwalk have drawn on shoegaze, ’90s alternative rock and post-hardcore, with shades of Hum, Failure and Quicksand. View From The Outside feels like a step forward. They get more adventurous with the arrangements, and the big melodies and hooks hit even harder against those grungy guitars.
