Australian post-rock band sleepmakeswaves has shared a new song and news of a new album soon too. The band will release It's Here, But I Have No Names For It on April 12 on Bird's Robe Records. It is their fifth full-length album, most recently these are not your dreams  in 2020.

The lead single is "Super Realm Park. "

“The main riff and synth on ‘Super Realm Park’ was inspired by F-Zero, the old school Nintendo 64 game. We developed and refined the concept into the first half of the track to bring in some late ‘90s influences. We fit a few walls with how to close the track, until one afternoon, we suddenly realized it needed a slow, crushing, hypnotic wall of noise. We can’t wait to play it live,” the band says.

They are currently planning tours of Australia, Europe, and the US.

It’s Here, But I Have No Names For It track list:

1.    All Hail Skull

2.    Super Realm Park

3.    Ritual Control

4.    Black Paradise

5.    Verdigris

6.    Terror Future

7.    It’s Here, But I Have No Names For It

8.    This Close Forever
