Sleepwalker is a fitting title for Long Beard’s new album from New Brunswick, NJ Leslie Bear’s songs often sound like the space between the dream world and waking consciousness. It’s a hushed, declarative collection of tracks that focus on small facets of our day-to-day routine, and the seemingly insignificant thoughts it produces. Bear’s voice wafts in and out of spindly guitar motifs, but its delicate nature doesn’t hinder any of her precocious observations. They’re humbly rendered, huge revelations, “Hates the Party” by Long Beard, from Sleepwalker, out on vinyl and digital 23rd October 2015
