The Sleeping

After a 17-year hiatus from creating together, the original lineup of The Sleeping - Douglas Robinson (vocals), Joe Zizzo (drums), Sal Mignano (bass), and Cameron Keym (guitar/keys) - have returned with their upcoming album, I Feel Like I’m Becoming a Ghost, out August 18th. Taking their post-hardcore and alternative roots and blending it with a post-punk influence, the band have created a dynamic and emotive ten tracks. Today, The Sleeping shares “No Light,” an infectious track laced with groove filled guitar lines and Robinson’s signature vocal deliver that combines lush moments with impassioned screams. The accompanying visual is a swirl of color and vintage footage created by Adam Thomson (The Mars Volta, RX Bandits, At The Drive-In) and can be viewed below.

On the lyrical content of “No Light” Robinson states: “This was written about needing the person you love at all costs. I couldn’t get through everyday struggles I face without my partner. It’s all of your senses heightened when being close to the person who helps you feel the most sane.”

"No Light" follows lead off single " The Animal" which dropped in May and can be streamed below as well. "The Animal" showcases the quartet's undeniable chemistry, energy, and musicianship. Said about the "The Animal", the song "is written about the anxieties we deal with on a regular basis, when the world outside of our inner circle invades our personal space," explains vocalist Douglas Robinson. "As we get older, our circle often gets smaller and the world around us feels a lot more intrusive." Check it all out below.
