Minnesota group Sleeping Jesus show a dreamy, melodically captivating soundscape on new track “Lay.” The track’s music video – depicting a “loneliness cure” – does well in capturing the track’s retrospective, yearning feel. Aesthetically, there’s a lush tone throughout reminiscent of Washed Out’s more subdued efforts. The transition around 01:09 features a bass-driven transition amidst the backing synths, with an ensuing vocal bridge relaying an infectious change of pace. Sleeping Jesus’ “Lay” impresses with both melodic and atmospheric charm.
