Sleeper's Bell - "Bored"

Sleeper's Bell started off as the lo-fi bedroom folky pop of Chicago's Blaine Teppema, and has now grown into a duo including Evan Green. Their latest single, "Bored," still has all of the intimacy of a lo-fi bedroom recording while being much more lush and fleshed out. At times, "Bored" is almost painfully intimate. You get the feeling that the song wasn't quite made for an audience to listen to even though it's obviously fully fleshed out. The song is gorgeous in its simplicity. Even as it gets bigger and more involved as it goes on, it never loses that intensity. 

You can listen to "Bored" below. Clover is due out February 7 on Fire Talk Records/Angel Tapes, and is available for pre-order here. For more on Sleeper's Bell, check out the artist on Instagram.
