Sleeper's Bell - Clover [Cassette] [White Shell]

Clover' is the debut LP from Sleeper's Bell, the project of vocalist/lyricist/librarian-by-day Blaine Teppema & guitarist Evan Green. Recorded with Jack Henry (Friko, Horsegirl), 'Clover' is a product of Chicago's reliable DIY scene, offering a more confessional & folk-influenced lens. Instrumentation spans from fiddle to saxophone, combining an expansive sound with laser-focused lyrics. Praised by New York Times (''Sleeper's Bell captures the lingering wounds, self-doubt and distrust'') , Stereogum, (['Clover'] is shaping up to be the perfect heartbreak album''), Chicago Reader (''tender''), 'Clover' spit-shines dive bar wisdom into polished folk-rock. These songs date back as far as 10 years, having changed form countless times throughout the year. As the duo continued steeping themselves in the city's storied independent scene, their newfound momentum expanded initial conceptions of what Sleeper's Bell could be. Sleeper's Bell ''shine in layers of musical finery'' (For The Rabbits) and have cultivated a strong fanbase in their hometown of Chicago, supporting the likes of beloved twangers Merce Lemon, Fust, @, and more.
