Long Island post-hardcore band The Sleeping have announced their full-length follow-up to The Big Sleep, which was released almost 13 years ago. I Feel Like I'm Becoming A Ghost is scheduled to be released on July 28th through the band directly. The band has set up a Kickstarter for the project, more information is below.
The record was recorded at Applehead Recording in Woodstock, NY produced by Chris Bittner and the band. The effort was also engineered and mixed by Bittner while mastering was handled by Chris Athens at Chris Athens Mastering. The artwork was completed by Katie Williams.
You can preorder the album via the Kickstarter link here.
The band shared the following:
🚨 NEW ALBUM + KICKSTARTER ANNOUNCED 🚨
It is with EXTREME EXCITEMENT, and without further hesitation- We will be releasing our LONG OVERDUE new album 'I Feel Like I'm Becoming A Ghost' on July 28th. We're doing this entire release ourselves. We've already started the process, but we still need your help. We've created a KICKSTARTER, and are asking for your support.
With what has happened to us label-wise over the years, we decided to take control of our own narrative. This band is the most creative and revitalized we have felt in a very long time. We're ready to show you all.
For this Kickstarter, we've created some tiers, including vinyl pre-orders, and special items, to give back to you and your donations as best as we possibly can.
We have always been a band that stayed true to ourselves, and this time is no different. We are exploring this new freedom of being a fully independent artist.
We hope you see these donations as more than transactional. We have been dancing with the idea of a Kickstarter for quite some time, and have finally decided that this is what will be best for our band, and for all of you. This feels like more of a direct, personal thank you for your love and support throughout these 20+ years of our history.
Thank you so much for everything you have done for us.
'I Feel Like I'm Becoming A Ghost' is going to be something truly special.
KICKSTARTER LINK IN BIO. PLEASE SUPPORT. PLEASE SHARE. YOUR STORY SHARES ARE IMPORTANT.
IT'S TIME TO MOVE FORWARD.

Post CommentEveryone on Long Island lives with their parents, but these guys definitely don't plan on ever leaving.
30k hahahaahaha imagine lying that you need this kind of money to record/release an album in 2023.
"Vinyl production delays MAY impact fulfillment" So basically IF this hits 30k you can expect the LP in 2026
Turnstile could put up a gofundme for a limited bucket hat and hit 30k in 25 minutes
DOING THIS THING ALL BY OURSELVES, F THOSE LABELS…. By ourselves with your money though.
we recorded the record already for 2k which we can upload online for free, 3k spent on vinyl and the other 25 to pay rent for our parents basement basement and child support
Doesn't homie on the left own like 4 successful bars and restaurants in Long Island? Kickstart deez niuts.
To all you f*ckers that are like, "$30k, haha, I record for $2k"... Applehead Studios is a real studio not some hardcore bullshit basement recording. Probably 1 day there is $2k. Plus there are other expenses beyond recording. They obviously want to put out a quality product and do it right. Anyone who's been a real musician knows that.
Wow it's really easy to be an asshole apparently, a huge hairy sweaty, basement-dwelling asshole. One that types to boot! And yea I'm talking about the comments section. And yea I'm an asshole too I guess. Wanna kiss and have asshole babies? See you at the park at 6.
