about

The musical equivalent of a waking nightmare about a last-minute maths test, ‘Sleep Paralysis Demon’ is Bristol-based Sugar Horse’s contribution to a special AA-side 7” split with Copenhagen’s infamous LLNN, ahead of their co-headline European tour.

Mud-thick sludge tones collide with post-punk discord, pop sensibilities and a wicked sense of humour as the band blaze new trails in creative, collaborative chaos.

"It is an unprecedented honour to be able to release a little split single with the good folks in LLNN. I saw them for the first time at ArcTanGent 2023, headlining the same stage we headlined the night before and was completely blown away by just how terrifying the whole set was. It was oppressive, it was demonic, it was enormous.

Coming up with a track that could keep up with their intensity was a challenge. A real head scratcher. We came to the realisation that it was have to be pure dissonance. Just semi-tones and pain....and so 'Sleep Paralysis Demon' was born. A song about living with the contradiction & confusion of the internet age, and the timely death of one Henry Kissinger."

lyrics

Stepping into the looking glass
While you dig through the rubble.
Heavy breathing through white and black
Technicolored and bright...

Calamity holds it’s shape,
Until it leaks and it’s drained.

Hold the structure fulfil your task
While the obstacles suffer.
Straggled sequels of futures past
From the stars to the gutter.

Will it break with the waves while you scatter?
Or will the bracings hold firm?
And we’ll go down with each vessel they hammer,
’Til this attrition is served...

Killed
Blow by blow
A line connects us
Leaves us alone

Killed
Monochrome
Same line divides us
Muscles & Bone

Hypernormal
Ultra-sane
Self-inflicted
Somehow sane
