Hello BlueSky - we are music lovers in France. On social media mostly to follow indie artists and spread the word on our favorites. Introduce yourselves and follow along, let's lift each other up. This week's releases we're digging -> www.grooveartuniverse.com

“So what’s the new EP like?” … Layers and layers of guitars? Like the puff pastry of indie rock. Big drums? Call me the Jupiter of bombast. Bouncy bass lines? I’m like a racquet ball on Red Bull. Retro synths? Your mom knows all about my sweet organ. hypeddit.com/thesleepingc...

My Navigator friend lost his job recently and I didn’t know what to say to him. All I had to offer was platitudes and plongitudes.

This song is for all the haters that said I “don’t have chill vibes” Tbh, nobody’s ever said that about me, so this is a preemptive strike. hypeddit.com/thesleepingc...

If BC Rich made a Kenny Rogers signature model, I would probably buy it. #guitar

My new song might just blow your knobs off

I wonder if there’s a group of people out there trying to advertise their meet-up group who likes to play chase after smoking concentrated weed resin. I don’t imagine # hashtag gets the reach they are hoping for.

I’m painting the outside of my house today. I feel my karate skills growing exponetially.

I had a dream I worked in the same office as Michael Jordan and Jamiroquai, and I kept falling asleep every time they tried to offer me advice. Wtf

THIS. IS. NEW. MUSIC!! *said in my best Spartan voice hypeddit.com/thesleepingc...

It’s important to riff your partners bits. Take that any way you want to.

🚨PSA🚨 “Bandcamp Friday” is the number one way to support indie artists…unless you know them well enough to just hand them ca$h. And a cheese danish. And cup of coffee. And an Electro-Harmonix POG2 Polyphonic Octave Generator Pedal. Probably just easier to support them on Bandcamp. 🎶May 2, 2025🎶

Still just dipping our toes in here on BlueSky but wanted to pop in to announce the arrival of Tattoo, an EP tracking the cycles of a long relationship, loss, and the attendant grief. Poured my heart into this one. I hope it’ll find the folks with whom it will resonate. (Grammar!)

Did you know that I also write reviews of alternative electronic music and publish them on my website. If you think that's you, if you think a review would be useful to you or in the very least interesting to read then you can contact me via this blog post. kiffie.info/blogs/explor...

I’m so so stoked about the new EP artwork. I’m half Belgian, so I wanted to have fun with the ubiquitous Lions (Belgium is steeped in them). My artist turned every whim I had into reality, and now I have THIS! First single scheduled for May 1st! 🎉

Doing some solo Tom work this morning. This *should* be the last thing that’s needed for the 5th song on the upcoming EP 🤞

Do you think Merle Haggard ever listened to No Doubt and changed the lyrics? 🎶I’m just a Merle, oh little ol me Well don’t let me out of your sight Well I’m just a Merle, all pretty and petite … 🎶

The exact kind of response you want when you send over the final mixdown

WTF is this??? 😂 For reference, this is the view of my last full album, I’m not a paying Spotify customer…but I am insanely curious what this means.

3 lies and a truth: 1. I am the actor who played Ted Lassos son 2. I own the actual accordion used in the “We Will Rock You” solo 3. My Astrological sign is a Tuba 4. It’s Bandcamp Friday (and all my jams are there) https://thesleepingcliffs.bandcamp.com/music

Drop a black and white photo of you

If our democracy does fail, I wonder if the person at Bojangles who decided to send me a physical mailer announcing their new ‘Chicken & Bo-berry Waffles’ will reflect and be like…yeah, that was bad timing…

I’m entering my “unsubscribe to everything” phase.

I’m trying to come up with a joke where the punchline is “it’s not funny if you have to explain it”. You see it would be funny because it’s super meta and self-referential.

Most of you follow me for my cartoons here, but I just released my first musical album out into the wild. SPOTIFY: open.spotify.com/album/0kGqtK... Apple Music: music.apple.com/us/album/ite... Bandcamp: threebyone.bandcamp.com/album/itera 10 songs, 38 minutes. 38 years in the making. Enjoy!

When the Recording Academy announced the new category of “Best Ambient Feedback in a The Sleeping Cliffs Song” I got my hopes up. I really thought I had a shot. Anyway, congratulations Andre 3000, well played.

As some of you may have noticed, I am no longer black and white. I now come in many shades (but primarily blues, greens, and browns)

I bought some presents recently and mentioned to the clerk that it was for my wife’s birthday. He said he could put a bow on it at no extra cost and we picked out some nice decorative paper and everything. While I was waiting a BANGIN song came on. I asked what it was. He said it was wrap music.

This is a reminder to drink some water today folks 💚

Every time I hear thunder a few seconds after I see lightning I think “a lower buffer size could probably fix this latency issue” #audioengineering 🥁

This is my floor microphone. The new and exciting way I’ve been recording percussion.

WIP: I spent the morning writing and recording a #guitar solo for a song on the new album. I’m not fast and I’m not super technical, I just like to play. I also don’t usually make traditional solos a focus of my music, but I am pretty proud of how this is turning out. 🎸

Oh hi!

Starting a new musical improv project that focuses on unstructured spotenaiety. I’m torn between calling it “Risk Averse” or “Abundance of Caution”. Might take me a few weeks of weighing the pros and cons of each to decide 🧐

Artist me …also me

Bad news everyone, the new The Sleeping Cliffs signature guitar has been delayed until someone decides to build me one & mass manufacture it 😫

If they start cutting Ozempic into new party drugs, they should call it diet coke.

I’ve been practicing guitar every day this year, which is one of my 2025 goals. I moved a bunch of things around in my house, and installed some more wall hangers, to have guitars just hanging around where I spend time.

I think this place needs more gifs (pronounced grrr-iffs)

My latest WIP Just laid down some drums. Still needs a lot of love, but I’m digging the direction
