Wintersleep’s forthcoming album Wishing Moon, is their first since their 2019 release In The Land Of. The group includes vocalist and guitarist Paul Murphy, guitarist Tim D’Eon, keyboardist Jon Samuel, bassist Chris Bell, and drummer Loel Campbell. Their latest single “Stranger Now” sets “the thematic lyrical tone for the album—touching on ideas of the ‘super-powers,’ we all have within us, the things inside you that you know are there but sometimes need the right tools, people, or moment to access,” says Murphy.

“This song was a joy to make,” explains Murphy. “The first in the demo batch that felt like a real progression from our last record and like the beginning of something new. It started with this killer, quintessentially-Tim riff. Loel had an amazing beat and production vision for it. I wrote the first verse melody and lyrics and the pre-chorus and chorus came pretty immediately after that. One of those guitar parts that you could sing a lot of different things over because it has so much to it harmonically.”

The band has also shared a visualizer for “Stranger Now” directed by boy wonder and featuring Tony Morrone. “Tony is an actual videographer, from a different generation who I really like,” says boy wonder. “I wanted to make a video about a day in the life of Tony, as if he were me, a guy making indie music videos on the streets. Tony is me and I am Tony!”

Recorded at producer Nicolas Vernhes’ (The War on Drugs, Spoon) studio in the Mojave Desert near Pioneertown, the collection of 12 songs evidences a renewed vitality and energy: The band’s branches of prog-, indie-, folk-, and alternative-rock are in full bloom, stretching skyward with grateful, open, curious hearts.
