A.V. Club: Best of the Decade

Artist Sleeping In The Aviary

  • Sleeping In The Aviary

Despite its title—2008’s Expensive Vomit In A Cheap Hotel—the second album from Sleeping In The Aviary opens up the band’s tender side amid its lo-fi scars and unruly freak-outs. As always, the band deliberately leaves a lot of loose ends, as random bits of chatter and noise make their way onto the tracks—though that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Earlier this year, Sleeping In The Aviary released a 7-inch with Madison garage-rock duo The Hussy featuring the blasting “Automatic,” a frantic return to the Buzzcocks- and Thermals-style pop-punk of the band’s 2007 album Oh, This Old Thing?
