London-based sleepazoid is the rising collective of the new-generation alt-rock scene.
The fragile hardness in Nette France’s vocals, the backbone-holding bass lines from Josef Pabis, the rhythmic aggression that Luca Soprano builds with both vocals and drums, and the dual-guitar texture from George Inglis and Jim Duong…
When all of this comes together, a layered and striking sound emerges that fuses the raw energy of grunge with the vast atmospheres of shoegaze and the dark push of post-punk.
The emotional intensity of Wolf Alice, the rage of Mannequin Pussy, and the angular dynamism of Fontaines D.C. — sleepazoid translates them all into its own vibration.
“FIG TREE” is the perfect summary of this chemical compound:
A vocal lost inside fuzz-drenched guitars,
drums that constantly drive the rhythm forward,
a bass line that breathes with tension,
and a DIY production preserved with lo-fi touches.
The track creates the feeling of both running and standing still inside a dark room — an underground scream and an inward whisper at the same time.
🔗 Apartman No:26 Note:
sleepazoid is creating a modern collision zone in the grunge–shoegaze–post-punk triangle.
“FIG TREE” combines the band’s signature heavy fog with a chaos that looks uncontrolled but is highly calculated.
One of the collectives we need to follow on the new alt-rock frontline.
