Following on from their radio-wave raiding recent single ‘Belicoso’, CALVA LOUISE, are back with a sky scraping, sci-fi indebted new single: ‘Sleeper’.
3’20 of cyber-punk sonic clash and venomous Karen O-esque vocals, ‘Sleeper’ is a thrilling left-turn for Calva Louise and tears open bold, brash new horizons for the Manchester-based trio.
Opening a Pandora’s box of existential questions, ‘Sleeper’ plugs the listener into a virtual world that will warp your very perceptions of reality and fantasy. Examining our rapidly evolving relationship with technology, lead singer Jess Allanic, takes us inside the band’s sensory overloading new single:
“We believe that it is quite common to sometimes feel as if you were a character from a movie, or even a video game, and it comes to a point when you begin to realize that you feel as if you are being dragged along by a current, like a leaf in the wind.
Technology has developed so fast, even science fiction tells us that these new possibilities are just around the corner, where the character often faces virtual rules and wants to change them.
If sometimes we feel like we are dreaming, then we could dream that we wake up, so we can see reality outside the game, for what it really is.”
‘Sleeper’ follows directly on from the rabidly-received single: ‘Belicoso’; a track that has already been taking the airwaves of Radio X, BBC 6 Music and BBC Radio 1 by storm. Both tracks will feature on a brand new EP ‘Interlude For The Borderline Unsettled’, to be released this Winter via Ditto Music on all digital platforms.With all tracks produced and mixed by Tarek Musa (Spring King, Dead Nature), the new EP marks the band’s first new material since their critically acclaimed debut album ‘Rhinoceros’ back in February.
After a summer of scorching live sets at major festivals the likes of Boomtown Fair and Kendal Calling under their belts, the Manchester based trio now look to let-loose the spoils of a hotly anticipated new EP with 4 UK headline shows in December. Catch the band at the following dates and venues:
