New Jersey-based alt-pop group Sleep House is gearing up to release their latest EP titled High Tide. When asked about said EP, the group has said “High Tide is technically the 3rd EP we’ve released and the most wide-ranged yet wholesome project we have to date.” The overall theme of the EP is about having hope and learning and growing and accepting changes, and that theme is everpresent throughout all three tracks.
The EP opens up with the track “Skydiving in Dubai”, a fun, upbeat track that you can move to. I fell in love with this track from the opening note and felt it was an excellent indicator of how the album was to progress. I love the transition from upbeat guitars and drums in the beginning to slowing down more on the verse and back upbeat again in the chorus. This track is something I could vibe to while chilling in my room at night.
Following up next, we come to “Clementine”. I enjoyed this track a lot, and the whole theme of the EP of changing and growing really shows in the lyrical content of this track. “Clementine” has a groovy vibe to it. This is a track had such a chill vibe to it; I would jam to this driving down the highway on a summer night.
They close with the song “You’re Still My Favorite Thing”. This track had the most upbeat, dancy mood to it. Right from the beginning and throughout, this is a track I could move to. It is not too fast-paced but rather has a steady groovy beat. This track gave me summer vibes this something I would jam to with my friends on a summer night.
High Tide is all about growing and changing, and that theme ever-present throughout in the lyrics throughout and is a topic all can relate to as we all have to go through this at some point in our lives. High Tide overall is an incredible EP through and through.
