The Plug (0:55).

The Interview (2:26).

These days, homebase for me musically is calming, grounded music that allows me to weather some of life’s recent storms in my personal life. And so the music of sleepingdogs, the duo comprised of andrew and jesse the tree, has been some of my most played as of late.

The way they capture the blues, and articulate their existential thoughts and introspective musings is truly powerful stuff. On top of that, these impactful messages are packaged with a ton of melody, tender vocals, and rock-infused production that makes their songs hit that much harder.

andrew and jesse’s chemistry is remarkable; they are a match made in heaven, and they join the show to explain why their pairing works so well, how they approached the creation of their recent solo works, and their brand new sleepingdogs album, will we ever dance again?
