The first taste of Ganglians's Robby Moncrieff-produced double LP Still Living came courtesy of "Jungle"'s echo-chamber psychedelia. (For some reason, its atmosphere made me think of Tiny Tim.) The second single, "Sleep," comes immediately before it on the record. As the title suggests it is indeed sleepy, but with meaty multi-color explosions, a gentle late-song build, and an Elvis Costello enunciation hiding in the haze. Listen:
