SINGLE REVIEW: A Sleeping Bear - Silo Sniping in July

'Silo Sniping in July' pulls you in straight away with its hypnotic, immersive intro, setting the stage for a synth-heavy beat that immediately absorbs you. Hazy, almost mystical vocals chime in, sometmes imperfect in pitch but rich in charm and honesty, lending the track a raw, authentic feel. There’s a subtle nod to the 80s here, with a Pet Shop Boys-inspired vibe woven into its rhythm, balanced with an ethereal touch that softens the edges.

The song’s layering is impressively dynamic, alternating between rich, atmospheric soundscapes and sparser, more minimal moments. Its rhythm remains steady and strong, grounding the track as it drifts through dreamlike textures. Delicate female vocals in the outro add a haunting quality, rounding off 'Silo Sniping in July' with an otherworldly, almost cinematic finish. A Sleeping Bear has created a track that feels both nostalgic and uniquely personal, a rich blend of sounds that feels simultaneously expansive and intimate.
