Sleeper Announce First Album In 21 Years 'The Modern Age', Share New Song Look At You Now
Wednesday, 05 December 2018
Written by Jon Stickler
Sleeper will return with their first album in 21 years next spring.
The reformed Britpop band will release the Pledge-funded 'The Modern Age' via their own Gorsky Records on March 22, after spending the summer of this year recording with their longtime producer, Stephen Street. They tracked live at Metway Studios in their adopted city of Brighton, before decamping to Street's studio in west London to add the finishing touches.
Covering subjects from motherhood and social media to personal loss and, inevitably, relationships, 'The Modern Age' wasn't meant to happen. In fact, the band had promised each other it never would. Singer Louise Wener said:
"We had no plan to get back together. Sometimes life throws you a massive curve ball. You end up jumping off the cliff, just to see what it feels like.”
The first single to be taken from the album, Look at You Now, is out now. Check out the album's cover art, tracklist and stream the new song, below. Sleeper will accomapny the album's release with a previously announced UK tour in February and March, including a London date at the Kentish Town O2 Forum. Tickets are on sale now.
