We grew up with the sounds of very early 2000’s style of production and melody so to reference that in the track was really fun too”.

Sunsleeper is an indie rock band hailing from Salt Lake City, Utah. Today, they are unveiling a beautiful and captivating cover of Mac Miller’s “Come Back To Earth”.

Speaking about the track, frontman Jeffery Mudgett recounts finding solace in the track: “To me the record perfectly captures self-reflection and hopefulness while in the midst of a dark season. There’s a beautiful conflict of hope and defeat throughout the album that resonated with me deeply during the start of the pandemic”. Debut full-length, “You Can Miss Something & Not Want It Back”, released by Rude Records in 2019, boasts a nostalgic quality while still feeling fresh and new.

The battle between wanting to switch off from things to help your mental health but also not wanting to be ignorant to what’s going on in the world and not wanting to feel like you aren’t contributing in any positive way. Gold is also about the feeling of being paralysed and not wanting to create or say anything [Read More]
