Sleeper have announced The Modern Age, the Britpop group’s first new album in 21 years. It’s due out March 22 via their own Gorsky Records. Below, listen to first single “Look at You Now” and check out their upcoming tour dates.
Sleeper broke up in 1998, following the release of the previous year’s Pleased to Meet You. They reunited in 2017 for a series of shows. “We had no plan to get back together,” singer Louise Wener said in a statement. “Sometimes life throws you a massive curve ball. You end up jumping off the cliff, just to see what it feels like.”
