Australian Post-Rock Quartet sleepmakeswaves Shares New Single "Zelda"!

Australian instrumental post-rockers sleepmakeswaves have announced new music for 2020, three years since their 2017 release Made of Breath Only.

The new project, titled These Are Not Your Dreams will be released on 17th July.

Rather than following a conventional release pattern, new songs will be released as a series of 3 EPs over the next few months, with No Safe Place out now, Out of Hours released on June 5 and Not an Exit released July 3. The first single Cascades debuted on triple j’s Home & Hosed in January, with a second track The Endings That We Write premiering on triple j’s The Racket in February.

Today, the band released the new single Zelda, the track comes from the forthcoming Out of Hours EP which forms part of the band’s These Are Not Your Dreams , due out in July. The release follows their ARIA-nominated albums Made of Breath Only (2017) and Love of Cartography (2014).

Zelda is a unique shift in sound for the usually entirely instrumental band – it features a prominent lead vocal line throughout the song. With lyrics penned and sung by guitarist Otto Wicks-Green, it’s the first true foray into traditional lead vocal territory for the band. Although they’ve experimented with vocals before (including January’s well-received single Cascades), it’s never been as much at the forefront as this.
