Following the very recent debut of their new single “Anti-Social“, While She Sleeps have now unveiled the initial details for their fourth studio album, “So What?“. That record was produced by Carl Brown and will land in stores on March 01st through their own Sleeps Brothers imprint via Spinefarm. Pre-orders for it are available now via whileshesleeps.com.
Meanwhile, a music video for “Anti-Social” has now been launched below along with the reveal of the dates for a European/UK tour with Stray From The Path and Landmvrks opening. Meanwhile, While She Sleeps guitarist Sean Long commented of this new record as follows:
“We’ve let our hair down and we’ve got our bollocks out. I’m not fucking about. I’m not cutting corners. I’ve been writing like this will be my last album. ‘You Are We‘ got us to this special position and it’s given us a platform. For us, it’s like, ‘What can we do to really stick this in people’s faces? What can we put out there that we’re buzzing off?’ I don’t want to be following everyone else – I want people to follow us.”
Guitarist/vocalist Mat Welsh also spoke of the band’s decisions to release the album through their own imprint label:
“We got approached immediately by a bunch of labels, but we turned around to all of them and said, ‘The only way we’re going to do anything is if you let us release it on Sleeps Brothers, but you house that on your train, and we make the decisions behind everything.’
I fucking loved releasing ‘You Are We‘ ourselves, but at the same time, I played more on my laptop than I did on my guitar for the whole campaign.
This release is a partnership between Sleeps Brothers and Spinefarm, but no one is breathing down our necks about the record we’re making or the singles we’re putting out.”
