Big Sleep “Maccy D’s”

‘Maccy D’s’ is the latest infectious indie guitar bop from Dublin’s Big Sleep. The track is inspired by the sounds of _Alvvays, Spacey Jane, Big Thief, and The Cure and is t_he latest release off **Big Sleep’**s forthcoming sophomore EP.

Quote about the song:
‘For ‘Maccy D’s’ we tried to capture the same energy we feel in the room when we perform it live. There’s this angular feel to Matteo’s drum groove and the outro is bursting at the seams but we think it’s a nice contrast with the hooky guitar melodies and lyrics. It took us a while to settle on the form for this one but when we all crowded around a mic in the live room of Hellfire Studios to scream our heads off for an extra bit of noise in the outro of the song it felt too good to leave out and we knew we were heading in the right direction.’

With recent supports in Dublin for CVC and Do Nothing in the last couple of weeks, as well as headliine Irish and UK headliners on sale, Big Sleep are having a very busy time of it.

The Irish-Italian outfit partly met at school and others later joined after meeting through the city’s live music scene. With indie-pop qualities that blend alternative rock and soul sounds, Big Sleep cite artists like Big Thief, JJ Cale, Jamiroquai and The Cure as influences. It’s been a busy year for the quartet. In the last 12 months since their Debut EP release, they’ve toured with Somebody’s Child, received international radio play (BBC R1, Radio X, RTÉ 2FM) with features on major Spotify editorials (Hot New Bands, All New Rock) and toured internationally across Europe. Big Sleep’s Sophomore EP is due for release in Autumn 2023 and with sold out shows in Dublin, London and Berlin already under their belt, they won’t be stopping anytime soon.
