The way I tell it, Sleep ∞ Over’s Forever is one of the best albums released in this incomprehensible, miserable, dreamy, endless decade. The following “Rooftop” single (with a beautiful cover of Vashti Bunyan’s “I Want To Be Alone”) was a stormy revelation back in 2013.
Then the frequency went quiet, unfinished song snippets posted on Instagram every now and again.
But with last year’s stellar and sleepy wine~mouth guest mix, we reported that Sleep ∞ Over would have new stuff out soonish! Well, now it’s soonish!
Stefanie Franciotti is rockin’ (or R&Bin’) back inside our hearts. This isn’t another ladle-full from the dream pop cauldron, but a 3D-rendered doppelganger, busy with high hats and pitch-shifted harmonies (my first thought is Autre Ne Veut and FKA Twigs, but this track deserves more than first thoughts). “Don’t Wanna Hide” is a return to form we didn’t know she contained.
