Listening to ‘No One’s Fool’ we almost got lost. You see, the track is so expansive and intense, that we just had to stop what we were doing, and just think about life, memories, and the nostalgia surrounding daily life. That’s the effect Sleeps While Walking have on people. Boasting the most lush shoegaze character and a certain amount of dreaminess and poignancy, the Chicago-based band delivers pieces that are unforgettable, the perfect artistic outlet for any pensive music fan.
‘No One’s Fool’ is the strongest evidence of that: introduced by minimalistic, hazy textures, the track then bubbles into a smokey, gloomy and ethereal jewel, raising its intensity gradually as it goes along. Vocals are very spacious, placed quite far away in the stereo field, and sort of just floating over the instrumental. Such a formula is almost intoxicating, it truly never lets you go.
Speaking about the inspiration behind the single, Sleeps While Walking explain: “The song is a conversation of a father giving life advice to a child. Basic ideas of being respectful, kind, persistent, and never letting another person put you down. In life, a lot of people will try to walk all over you, and you have to remind yourself never to let them. You have genuine value.”
