STARS BURNING HOLES RIGHT THROUGH THE DARK.

The nicest weather we've ever experienced in London, it's been a glorious weekend of Pimm's in the garden, dining al fresco and soaking up cosmic rays all about town. It's the perfect time, then, to revisit our most listened to summer anthem of last year, "Sleepyhead", through Run Toto Run's magical interpretation of the amazing Passion Pit original and our first ever release here at Neon Gold. Run Toto Run swap Michael Angelakos' helium falsetto for frontwoman Rachael Kichenside's honey-throated coo and offer a brilliant violin arrangement in the stead of the original's synthesizer outburst on the chorus, delivering perhaps the most winning version of "Sleepyhead" we've heard yet.
