Hypersleep emerge from the shadows with “Glum,” a brooding post-hardcore release that dropped over the weekend and immediately stakes its claim as one of the year’s most compelling sonic statements. The record is weaving layers of distorted guitars and atmospheric elements around a confessional delivery. Tracks like opener and lead single “Fake Your Smile” showcase Hypersleep’s ambition as newcomers to Midwest emo. “Glum” feels perfectly timed for the current moment—its themes of disconnection and searching for meaning in chaos resonating through production that’s simultaneously polished and deliberately rough around the edges. This is Hypersleep, and we should all take notice. Check out the EP below:
