After a five year hiatus, SoCal indie-pop duo, Sleep State, have returned with brand spankin’ new single, “BEWARE!!!”
Though summer may be ending, the vibes don’t have to with tracks like this. Sun-soaked and dreamy, “BEWARE!!!” delves into the chaos we face in the everyday world while acknowledging that it’s okay to not be okay. An ode to the absolute absurdity that we witness on a daily basis, this is one track that should be an anthem for years to come.
“Whether you’re overwhelmed by the mundane of work or fed up with the stressors accompanied by modern day politics, we’ve all been at a low point where we’re ‘barely feeling human; on the inside, despite our best efforts of trying to hide it on the outside,” says Troy Ritchie. “For me, this is a very cathartic song. When I’m enduring uncertain and miserable times, I’m still ‘hangin’ on’ with hope for better days. Singing out my internal dialogue and feelings through a catchy melody helps me feel human again and puts a lighter spin on what’s happening. I’ve definitely put myself through some dark times but I’m surrounding myself with great people and making notable changes to keep “steering clear of all the roads that I can’t come back from.”
