Jess Clinton - "Sleeping Woman"

Brooklyn's Jess Clinton's latest single, "Sleeping Woman," is this mellow, but quietly intense song. It has a powerful blues meets trip hop feel, almost like an Americana version of Portishead. The song seems to build and build to a riotous crescendo that never quite comes. Instead, it goes into a blues jam that is probably more reasonable and welcome than the garage rock rager I anticipated. 

You can listen to "Sleeping Woman" below. Real Glass Heart, the new album from Jess Clinton, will be out on July 26. For more on Jess Clinton, check out her website.
