Stereo and SC faves the Big Sleep herald their next studio effort with fat backbeat/horizon surfing post-rock jam "Pinkies," a track that's long been a live fave, just now getting a (great) studio makeover. Danny, you should sing more! The track is from the new album "Sleep Forever" – out on 2/19 n Frenchkiss.. Click here [download.stereogum.com] to listen.

If you're new to the Big Sleep, a couple of must-grabs from the sophomore LP "Son Of The Tiger" are available on MySpace [www.myspace.com].
