Peter Bibby Brings “No More Sleepovers”

Australian singer-songwriter Peter Bibby has released an enchanting new single “No More Sleepovers,” available now on iTunes via Mermaid Avenue/Mom + Pop Music. Today CMJ premiered the track’s accompanying video, which features a karaoke-singing Bibby, a mysterious woman in white, and a creepy doll. CMJ says of the song, “Musically, the guitar drops into darker realms and the song’s la-la-la vibe moves subtly through meaner moods and suddenly gets kind of rockin’, gross and ultimately melodramatic. If that sounds like a lot, well hey it is over five minutes long which can be too long in our click bait age, but this one’s worth settling into.”

Snarky Puppy And Metrople Orkest Introduce Sylva

Snarky Puppy is the inventive instrumental collective led by bassist, composer and producer Michael League. Formed in Denton, Texas in 2004, Snarky Puppy’s 11-year “do-it-yourself” career is wildly impressive and admirable. The band scored a Grammy Award in 2014 for Best R&B Performance, and their last album We Like It Here debuted at #1 on the iTunes Jazz chart where it continues to linger a year after its release. Impulse!/Universal Music Classics are proud to partner with the band on their first major label release, Sylva, coming May 26. The ambitious album is a creative departure for the band, who have collaborated with the acclaimed Metropole Orkest (Elvis Costello, Tori Amos and John Scofield) from Holland, and was recorded live in its entirety. As an added bonus for fans, the album will be physically bundled with a DVD that features performances of all six songs with the Metropole Orkest in Dordrecht, Holland, as well as a 20-minute behind-the-scenes featurette.
