They recently two tours of the US with Skep Wax label-mates Heavenly. Support comes from Committee of Sleep. Committee of Sleep are a four-piece lo-fi pop band from the North of the UK, crafting textured, emotionally driven songs that drift between shoegaze, bedroom pop, and DIY experimentation. Fronted by songwriter Olly Lightfoot, whose 2022 cancer diagnosis informs much of the band’s lyrical landscape, their music explores themes of love, loss, renewal, and quiet gratitude.
