Sleep Whale is a veritable Super Group, with at least three separate outcroppings of the band now finding success in Abacus, Sunnybrook and Melting Season- and further mélange in Motherly and Northern. Sleep Whale look like a jam band and play like an orchestra. If krautrock was the colorful, peculiar German uncle, Sleep Whale is the mellower American nephew that could only have been born after 90s shoegaze. Even moreso I hear Another Green World influenced in their music which is never a bad album to be compared to (unless you’re a Death Metal band). Though I have yet to see them under their newest moniker (formerly Mom) the I can assure the band will not let you down as they tour the country throughout November in support of their new Western Vinyl release Houseboat.
