Beauty Sleep are back with single "BIG + BAD" an electrifying anthem celebrating queerness and rejecting societal expectations.

 Incensed after realising how gendered their online ads were, the duo wrote the song saying "BIG + BAD is a takedown of online toxic masculinity and the pedalling of uninformed harmful ideas."

The punchy single merges big guitar riffs with flirtatious vocals and danceable beats. For fans of St Vincent and Caroline Rose, "BIG + BAD" is a lavish production with a tougher sound than their debut Be Kind, showcasing the new Beauty Sleep era in full colour. 

ARTIST BIO
Indie rock sweethearts Beauty Sleep are producers and songwriters Cheylene Murphy and Ryan McGroarty. The Derry duo serve up a blend of bewitching synths and bombastic guitars that are sure to set your heart racing. These partners in crime released their debut album Be Kind in 2019 which was shortlisted for Best Album at the Northern Irish Music Prize and garnered national radio support from BBC Radio One, 6Music, RTE2fm and seen them perform at festivals such as SXSW, The Great Escape and Other Voices. Beauty Sleep’s lavish soundscapes and dizzying songwriting have drawn comparisons to St Vincent, Caroline Rose & Japanese Breakfast.

BIG + BAD

girlfriend ..

It's ok I'm ok

this is what forever feels like

Weird World

As the world becomes more and more difficult, so the more I retreat into music.  

"Well, the world may be changing but I'm still shoe gazing with a song."

Shoe Gazing

Too Late (We’re Already Dead)

Until I Met You

I Tunes

Back Roads

Roberto's Concerto

Bandcamp

With a vocal that's raw and honest, B of Briz confronts and consoles in this alt hip hop contemplation. In this melancholic retrenchment with a driving bassline, B asks: what happens when stuff’s gone really badly wrong? How do we resist and recover and regroup?  With broken beats, 'Profoundly sick society' is a dark and dystopic acknowledgment that's also full of hope.

Sketch For Faro

Some spoken word to a broken beat, sub bass and samples. Experimental Electronic, Dub, Organic House

Tracked

It's a pop song about losing a friend, who has become radicalised by the nonsense they read online. Recorded in my hometown of Bathgate, Scotland.

Caught in the Grip

I like to find the cool vibes in music! Trance/Electronic/Indie. Anything that sounds good and gives me goosebumps! You know who you are out there!
