Melting their signature vocal harmonies into soulful string arrangements, this is emotive folk music, inspired by nature and the times we live in. Featuring the sounds of Fiona Fey, Rey Yusuf (Tell Tale Tusk) Monica Viñoly and Josh Considine.

Thank you to everyone who sent in clips from the tour, heres a little summary of our September...

The second single from our self titled debut album, released on Cuculi Records. Bonny Boy is a sensitive re-work of a traditional song from the British Isles which unfolds into an original jig. Filmed, directed and edited by the inimitable Don Shades, with the incredible Deniz Kavalali on second camera and assisting. Grading by the legendary Alberto Balázs. Huge thanks to Eggy Joel and co at The Cock Tavern on Mare Street, London for letting us film in your brilliant pub - We highly recommend a visit.

Official music video for debut single from Something Sleeps Released on Cuculi Records 14th June 2024 'Fishes may be about the wriggly feeling of anxiety - but countering the feeling of being underwater, the soothing sound the band have created with the blend of harmonies and sweeping strings is dreamy and uplifting' Credits: Vocals - Rey Yusuf, Fiona Fey, Monica Viñoly Violin - Monica Viñoly Cello - Josh Considine Guitar - Rey Yusuf Recorded, mixed and mastered by kyle acab Vocals recorded by Fiona Fey Produced by Fiona Fey Directed by Fiona Fey and Rey Yusuf Filmed and performed by Something Sleeps Edited by Rey Yusuf Lyrics: Swimming around inside me are little fishes I can't catch The harder I grip the more they slip out and swim away, Swim away... Circling above me I see the ripples they have made I'm so under water I can see the surface but I swim away.. swim away... Deeper deeper down It's quiet under here away from everyone, and everything.. How long have I been swimming for? Swim away... Swim away...

Rey Yusuf and Fiona Fey https://somethingsleeps.bandcamp.com/track/i-once-loved-a-lass Lyrics: I once loved a lass And loved her so well That I hated all others that spoke of her ill But what has become of the lass that I loved? She is gone to be wed to another When I saw my love come through the church doors Well the bride and brides maiden's put on a fine show And I followed them in with my heart full of woe To see my love wed to another When I saw my love sit down to dine Well I came close beside her and poured out the wine And I drank to the lassy that should have been mine Although she was wed to another The folk of the forest ask it of me How many strawberries grow in the salt sea? And I ask of them back with a tear in my eye How many ships sail in the forest? So dig me a grave and dig it so deep And then cover it over with flowers so sweet And there i'll lay me down for to take a long sleep And maybe that way I'll forget her Yes maybe that way I'll forget her..

Here is an extract form our Live show for Bowes Park Folk Club - We wrote this song about the climate crisis in response to the inaction surrounding the matter. Lyrics: Foretold yet unseen Known yet unspoken What is this thing gonna do to us? They say it's not real But we've known for such a long while How will it unfold in the end? In just two degrees, what are we? We know what is real And we know when lies are spoken So we are culpable in the end For how it unfolds in the end We've still got time We've still got time We've still got time Audio recording: Rey Yusuf Mixing and Masting: Nick Siepmann Filming: Lauren Taylor Video Editing: Rey Yusuf Something Sleeps are: Fiona Fey Rey Yusuf Monica Viñoly Josh Considine #Folk #Harmonies #Telltaletusk #womeninfolk #climatechange #protestsong #ReyYusuf #FionaFey #MonicaViñoly #JoshConsidine #Londonfolkband #Livemusic #Live #strings #cello #vocalharmony #Somethingsleeps #TellTaleTusk #nueva #nuevafolkuk
