Interview: Good Sleepy

Feb 12, 2026

Written by: Oliver Heffron

“If you’re feeling bereft of good emo music, you probably just need Good Sleepy. The Central Massachusetts outfit's new sophomore LP, CONSTANT HUMMING, delivers hard-hitting, headbanging riffs with just the right dose of dreamy melodies, with expansive, polished production you’d never guess was mixed in a basement and not a major studio. On tracks like “LOOMING” and “ALL AT ONCE,” the band displays the mixture of raw, DIY energy and infectious songwriting that makes for a great record, and an even better live show.”

“Trxy! may have missed the original wave of shoegaze, but the 19-year-old singer/songwriter/DIY-producer is trying to revive it anyway. Hailing from Southern Virginia, he manifests the energy of his best ’90s and early aughts influences through the restless, hyper-digital lens of a Gen Z teenager…”
