Sleeper include George Michael collaboration on ‘lost’ album This Time Tomorrow


Sleeper




Sleeper have limited edition red vinyl, CD and digital download formats available from their online store.

Sleeper will release This Time Tomorrow later this month after finally completing the album they first started at the dawn of the new millennium during lockdown.

“These are tracks that have been sitting on our hard drive since the 90s,” Louise Wener says. “Songs we’ve lived with and loved all this time. With all the restrictions of lockdown they resonated in a way I wasn’t expecting.”

“Goodbye Things to Do’ was written at a time when I was completely lost and I felt there was no way forward. I think everyone’s had moments like that this last year. Opening track, ‘Tell Me Where You’re Going’ in particular seemed to sum up the way the world is feeling now, as if life is on pause.”

One of the most notable aspects of the record is a small vocal contribution from George Michael who, when the album was in its early stages, gave the band use of his Highgate studio.

“George was incredibly generous letting us use his studio,” Wener continues. “We were out of our record deal and had nowhere to go. He was superbly knowledgeable about production and mixing and helped with my vocal on Cinderella.”

“He sang a backing vocal part in the last two choruses because he liked the track. It was thrilling to have one of my teen heroes offering advice and contributing to my song in that way. I love listening to it now. It feels like a very special moment.”
