The Sleeping have released their new single and video ‘Tainted’ out now. The song marks the third single from the band’s upcoming fifth album ‘I Feel Like I’m Becoming A Ghost, set for self-release on August 18th.

Taking their post-hardcore and alternative roots and blending it with a post-punk influence, the band have created a dynamic and emotive ten tracks. On ‘Tainted’ this shines through, as a dance-ready beat blends with moments of heavier guitars, pulsating drums, and reverberated vocals. The Adam Thomson (The Mars Volta, RX Bandits, At The Drive-In) directed video for the track is a swirl of colors and distortion as the band gives a passionate and dynamic performance. Speaking on writing ‘Tainted’ vocalist Douglas Robinson states:

“This song is written about the anxieties we all face in our everyday struggles. It’s a song told through the eyes of a revolution calling to try and unify people suffering from any struggles that try and take us away from our sanity and happiness.”

The band will celebrate the new album with four recently announced shows in New York City, Providence, RI, Albany, NY, and Harrisburg, PA. The Sleeping is Douglas Robinson (vocals), Joe Zizzo (drums), Sal Mignano (bass) and Cameron Keym (guitar/keys).
