Sleepcomesdown, Worrier, Paucity, and Absolutely at Cactus Club
While Sleepcomesdown still sounds like a young band trying to overpower its audience with atmospherics and creepy omens, the Milwaukee/Kenosha outfit gives itself some interesting space to mature in. On 2008’s Vapor Kicks EP, Sleepcomesdown tries to tweak and frizz out its well-orchestrated static of electronics, effects, and sinister vocals, filling “Visual Tactics” with throbs and drones and covering Bruce Springsteen’s “State Trooper.” The band’s worthy collision of post-punk, shoegaze, and ambient electronica could stand to expand its emotional range a bit, but Vapor Kicks proves Sleepcomesdown has the sonics to handle it.
