Debut album launch by former Rock Rally finalist
Herentals' Sleepersâ Reign was first heard of in â12 with a solid finals placing in Humoâs famous Rock Rally. Soon after, in â13, there was the big hit EP âFour Dotsâ with remarkable Dylan cover âLike A Rolling Stoneâ. Time for their real full debut â that will bear the name âKing Into Delightâ â that has been abundantly worked on in â15. Even in this very house, our very own AB studio even, where the band took refuge for a while during the summer with none less than producer Justin Gerrish (see: Vampire Weekend, Strokes, Weezer,âŠ) behind the dials.
The result is pure pop music with an electronic edge, whereby the keyword is escapisme, or so they say. Sleepersâ Reign: âHet album gaat over oprechte zaken die iedereen meemaakt in de trip naar volwassenheid. Jezelf bloot geven, dat poĂ«tisch opschrijven, zonder de zaak op te blazen, dat is het ongeveer.â It has been noted! Donât shout âdream popâ any more when you hear the name Sleepersâ Reign, but rather âpixar-popâ. You can ask about the why of that, yourself, on the night.
