Indie-pop trio Sleep State have released a brand new single, entitled "Awkward". The track premiered via Ladygunn on February 1st.
According to the article on Ladygunn that first premiered the track, the following is stated in regards to the sound behind "Awkward":
"Their newest single, “Awkward” is a sonic oxymoron — in that it’s sound carries the pep and frivolity of an 80’s tune by The Clash with just a dash of “Bleachers-esque” vibes; but its’ subject matter evokes the sense of social anxiety and is said to be “relatable to anyone who recalls adolescence as a time of petty drama or isolation.” Perhaps that’s why at first listen it seems it could have been a featured song on any John Hughes’ film soundtrack, or you might have mistakenly think it’s a poppy vintage Depeche Mode B-side you never knew all the words to."
You can listen to the track in its entirety below.
