sleepyhaze tracks have a tendency to lull the listener into a false sense of security; most start off seemingly simple, but it doesn’t take long to realize how many layers are still there to be peeled back. It’s that same deceptive simplicity tracks like “ridin round flip” possess that really allows the listener to sink in, submerging themselves in a familiar but dream-like state, wondering if they should come back up or hang around for just a moment longer. As is the case with “ridin round flip”, there’s always a sample floating around that you may have heard before, but never like this. sleepyhaze drops material pretty frequently; catch up over on their Bandcamp and as always, enjoy.

Do you ascribe different moods and feelings to every day of the week? Beyond the obvious ones, like Sunday nights being melancholic and Fridays filled with anticipation, there are so many grey areas that fill in the gaps and are interesting to explore how they reflect our lives back in the mirror. sleepyhaze’s most recent release, weaknights, takes aim at uncovering these feelings, as each track is named for a day of the week, with the last two tracks being related as the relationship between night and day as “am” and “pm”. I was particularly enamored with “friday night”; I was reminded here of many a Friday night where at one moment the possibilities seem endless, while reality begins to settle in the next. You can hear all of weaknights on sleepyhaze’s Bandcamp; I strongly encourage you to take another listen to “friday night” when it rolls around this week, as your reaction may not be what you initially expect. Enjoy.
