BIG + BAD: The new indie rock single from Beauty Sleep
Beauty Sleep are back with single "BIG + BAD" an electrifying anthem celebrating queerness and rejecting societal expectations.
Incensed after realising how gendered their online ads were, the duo wrote the song saying "BIG + BAD is a takedown of online toxic masculinity and the pedalling of uninformed harmful ideas."
The punchy single merges big guitar riffs with flirtatious vocals and danceable beats. For fans of St Vincent and Caroline Rose, "BIG + BAD" is a lavish production with a tougher sound than their debut Be Kind, showcasing the new Beauty Sleep era in full colour.
ARTIST BIO
Indie rock sweethearts Beauty Sleep are producers and songwriters Cheylene Murphy and Ryan McGroarty. The Derry duo serve up a blend of bewitching synths and bombastic guitars that are sure to set your heart racing. These partners in crime released their debut album Be Kind in 2019 which was shortlisted for Best Album at the Northern Irish Music Prize and garnered national radio support from BBC Radio One, 6Music, RTE2fm and seen them perform at festivals such as SXSW, The Great Escape and Other Voices. Beauty Sleep’s lavish soundscapes and dizzying songwriting created in their own Belfast city centre studio 'Big Sky Studios' have drawn comparisons to St Vincent, Caroline Rose & Japanese Breakfast.
