Musically While She Sleeps keep the familiar riff-fuelled energy and anthemic gang-chant hooks, but season their sonic stew with a few new ingredients. Nervous is a piano-led mood piece, while Systematic rides a tightly-wound groove peppered with swoops of noise and a rap-metal bounce. The synths and electronic elements in particular have been expanded since last album So What?, and even if this new album doesn’t sound quite as focused as its outstanding predecessor, it’s still an excellent addition. Wake up, and give Sleeps Society your attention.
Verdict: 4/5
For fans of: Architects, Bring Me The Horizon, Bury Tomorrow
Sleeps Society is released on April 16 via Search & Destroy / Spinefarm.
