A Hypnotic Pulse
New Orleans’ Deep Sleep Atlantic announces the release of their debut single "Bipolar Tendencies" which drops March 31st, 2023.
Deep Sleep Atlantic consists of lead vocalist and guitarist/producer Travis Marc, and backing vocalist and drummer/producer Daniel Perez, both based in New Orleans. The single was mixed by Jetta In The Ghost Tree producer - Taylor Tatsch and mastered by Deep Blue Something's Todd Pipes.
The new and darkly energetic single “Bipolar Tendencies” by Deep Sleep Atlantic creeps into your ears with a hypnotic pulse that suddenly explodes into a chorus that encapsulates your entire being and gets your head nodding. The song is a powerful first step for the New Orleans-based band, led by Travis Marc on lead vocals and guitars, and supported by Daniel Perez on drums and backing vocals.
"We're thrilled to finally share our debut single ‘Bipolar Tendencies’ with the world," say the band. "It's a song that we've poured our hearts and souls into, and we can't wait for fans to hear it and experience it with us."
Travis played all the instruments and produced the song himself, but shortly after meeting Daniel, they decided to form the band. The duo is excited to start performing the new material for live audiences starting in April of 2023.
“The song was written in a house in the Treme neighborhood after assisting at a session at Esplanade Studios,” says Travis. “The lyric that says, ‘I’ve had interviews cut’ is totally true. In my last band, a radio DJ in London stopped the interview because she said I was painting the music industry in a negative light while explaining some shortcomings that musicians often face.”
The lyrics in the second verse reads:
“… I’ve had interviews cut
The couple times I almost made it
They say I’m too negative
To call it like it is but
Coating it with sugar
Only clogs up the arteries.”
The production is top notch, and the single is catchy. This is absolutely a band to keep your eyes and ears on in 2023.
“Bipolar Tendencies” releases worldwide on March 31st and is the last track the band recorded but the first single from their upcoming album “Prelude.” The band will be releasing a video for the single on April 7th, as well as hosting an intimate single release party at Henry Turner Jr’s Listening Room in Baton Rouge on April 8th, 2023.
