Stereofaves the Big Sleep herald their next studio effort with fat backbeat/horizon surfing post-rock jam "Pinkies," a track that's long been a live fave, just now getting a (great) studio makeover. Danny, you should sing more. From next year's Sleep Forever ("It means 'us forever.'").
The Big Sleep - "Pinkies" (MP3)
If you're new, a couple of must-grabs from sophomore LP Son Of The Tiger at MySpace. Sleep Forever is out 2/19 on Frenchkiss.
