{"product_id":"sleepyhead-lp","title":"Sleepyhead [LP]","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOriginally released in October 2016 as a long-since sold-out self-released cassette, Hardly Art is proud to announce that Sleepyhead, the debut full-length from celebrated Chicago band Lala Lala, will be available for the first time ever on LP and CD (along with a new run of cassettes). Recorded in a basement over the course of five days during a typically-inhospitable Midwestern winter, Sleepyhead is an auspicious—if, at the time, criminally overlooked—debut effort from the young songwriter Lillie West and her then-lineup of supporting players (Abby Black on drums and Karl Bernasconi on bass). Unlike 2018’s critically-acclaimed The Lamb, Sleepyhead is a rawer, more punked-up album with fewer lyrical metaphors obfuscating it’s intimate, direct emotionality. Committed to tape in an urgent outburst of creative energy, the self-produced record eschews overdubs and takes unfussy aim at the listener’s ears, heart, and the lump in their throat. Album standout “Fuck With Your Friends” was a breakthrough moment for West—it was the first song she ever wrote, one that tumbled out of her fully-formed, setting her on the path that’s led to her recent successes. Its also emblematic of Sleepyhead’s confessionalism and fearless forthrightness: “I drink more than I want to 'cause it makes you easier to talk to \/ And what you're saying is boring,” West sings. This pressing of Sleepyhead also includes new artwork and LP copies arrive on cloud-colored vinyl. It will be available worldwide on August 23rd, 2019.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExorcism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFuck With Your Friends\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDream Song\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCool Party But Then We All Left\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOkie Dokie Doggy Daddy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNothing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBully\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMonolith\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLala Song\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFuture Flower\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 098787311914\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardly Art\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8.23.19\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Lala Lala","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58292578975825,"sku":"493822","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/3699841-2412840.jpg?v=1760744000","url":"https:\/\/apocalypsevinyl.com\/es\/products\/sleepyhead-lp","provider":"Apocalypse Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
