Sleepy Freak, a.k.a. Kate Lord, and Greg Mendez have issued a new split release. Guided by acoustic strums, Mendez’s tranquil, melodic narratives blanket one in steady, harmonic reassurance. Meanwhile, Sleepy Freak’s selection of tracks establishes an emotive core, while measured vocals provides accessible, penetrating imagery that lays akin to fellow Philadelphian Kississippi. Presented by Home Outgrown, Mendez is slated on a bill at Hole Foods on Wednesday, January 31 that will also include Marigold and Major Pursuit.
