Sleepyard is a psychedelic pop band from Norway. Oliver Kersbergen formed the band in 1994 to record the first demo "Velvet sky". Later on brother Svein joined in and they started playing concerts.
The band released the minialbum “Intersounds” on their own label Orange music in 1998. This was hailed as one of the very first post rock albums from Norway.
Sleepyard released “The runner” on trust me records (2003) and contributed music to the movie Monsterthursday, which was nominated for best foreign film in the 2005 Sundance film festival. Next album "Easy Tensions" saw the band reaching for a more mellow and richer sound. Their multi tracked vocal harmonies reminded critics of the Beach Boys and drew comparisons to the psychedelic sound of Smile.
On their latest album "Future lines", the band has collaborated with Pianist Mike Garson and Sonic Boom from Spacemen 3.
In 2010 the band collaborated with Jim Shepherd of The Jasmine Minks and released a 7" Down Tangerine Road on his Oatcake Records. The band have now completed a version of Chocolate river for an upcoming Sky Sunlight Saxon tribute album
The band is working on a new album called Black sails which explores a more electronic sound. Collaborators are Dawn Smithson (Jessamine, Low Places, Sunn O)))), Mike Garson (David Bowie), Geoff leigh (Henry Cow), Christiaan Webb (The Webb Brothers), Suki Ewers (Mazzy Star, Old Toy Trains) Bo Chung (Old Toy Trains) AND MORE TO BE ANNOUNCED.
