While grabbing Potty Mouth’s fantastic new EP (more on that later!) from Puzzle Pieces on Friday I noticed another new record from a band called Troubled Sleep—I grabbed that, too. Little did I know it would be the only thing I would listen to all weekend long. Troubled Sleep make darkened and heartfelt punk-informed pop songs that are quite simply KILLING ME right now. As for references: think Simple Machines Records, think Electrelane, think, perhaps, early Rainer Maria with more of a croon than a yell. So basically, an almost perfect sound to these particular ears. They have another equally great 7” out previous on Ripe Records, so you’re gonna want to grab that, too.
