Swirling ambient & psychedelic intro that weaves into an epic Post-rock crescendo with a tower of distortion, bombastic drums and melodic synthesizers

Shaped like a Star

Instrumental Indie-Rock song with layers of fuzzed up guitars, driving drums, heavy bass, unexpected & punchy funk horns and hints of both pop melodies and Latin beats.

Getting Lost On Purpose

Indie Rock/Alternative song with some Pop and Lofi elements. Layered guitars, bouncy synths and driving drums lead into a very satisfying, upbeat and energetic chorus.

Running with a Cape

‘Cute Funeral” is an unkempt instrumental amalgam of Electronic Rock, Left-field IDM and good old fashion Blues Rock.  There’s hints of Ratatat, The Black Keys, and Jon Spencer reflected throughout the song, but its own voice loudly clamors through it’s rhythmic mix of funk bass, bar room pianos, dixieland brass and fuzz drenched guitars.

Despondent

Amidst the lush Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, The Sleeping Cliffs unleash powerful soundscapes with amplifier feedback and pulsing bass drums. The music is a layered mosaic of fuzz drenched guitars, bombastic percussion, and vintage synths, melodically engineered as a turbine of soulful, rhythmic, electro-rock.  Todd Glidewell, the multi-instrumentalist behind the project, describes himself as “genre-fluid”, drawing from rock, indietronica, funk, soul, psychedelia, post-rock, and alternative. Wearing those diverse influences like a technicolor cape, his tracks consistently showcase a distinctive analog/electronic groove that defines The Sleeping Cliffs’ signature sound.
