Listen/Get: Could Be Sleeping - The Rest
In the next few weeks The Rest will release SEESAW, an album that has been something of an onyx unicorn for them (more on that later). Over the past several weeks the band have taken an interesting release approach, offering up a track by track sequentially for week long free downloads. This will culminate in the full release of the record on June 12.
“Could Be Sleeping” is something of a lynch pin for SEESAW. In it, The Rest completely embrace the spirit of the album spanning all influences and experiments. “Could Be Sleeping” gorgeously explores dense dimensions of sound and soul as singer Adam Bentley’s haunting voice shows startling control and courage. Instead of breaking down, the band take to one of their whimsical tangents letting the vitality of the seven piece band flourish.
SEESAW is an album that burrows into you with a gently vicious force. “Could Be Sleeping” is just one precious part of that collection of songs that begged to be heard, and thankfully will be soon.
Get It
“Could Be Sleeping” is up for grabs on The Rest’s bandcamp along with a preorder for the album. Get a few copies and share with friends, family or strangers.
