Susan Sleepwalking

by The Arms of Someone New

Susan Sleepwalking cover art

Operating almost entirely in obscurity out of Illinois, this deeply evocative debut album is an incredibly early, foundational document of American dream pop and slowcore. 'Susan Sleepwalking' is built upon heavily delayed acoustic and electric guitars, sparse, metronomic drum machines, and hushed, remarkably delicate vocals. The deeply melancholic, highly atmospheric aesthetic successfully bridged the icy gap between European coldwave and intimate, lo-fi indie pop.
