premiere: sleeping bags
Maybe they’ve got superhuman powers (or maybe they just don’t sleep), but the Kivel brothers are on a roll with yet another musical project.
Twins Matt and Jesse Kivel, who we know from California indie pop groups Princeton and Jesse’s project Kisses, have just released the debut LP from the shoegaze collective Sleeping Bags.
Along with fellow music multitaskers Abe Burns, Dave Lewis and Mark Nieto, these guys make the kind of twisted, hazy sound that’s reminiscent of bands like My Bloody Valentine, with the same atmospheric vibe of Tamaryn or The Radio Dept.
We love the band’s latest single, “Shark,” because the faraway-sounding percussion, “ooh-ing” chorus, and slight twinkly keys makes us feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
….yes, just like sleeping bags.
