Indiana’s Sleeping Bag will release its self-titled debut in August via Joyful Noise. The true simplicity of this trio is defined by their stripped down melodies, laid back vocals, jagged guitars, and kick-snare beats.
The track "Ben" frames a picture that reflects good times of days past, but asks serious questions about religion and life at the same time. This gentle garage rock approach is the perfect combination of closet pop and the warmth of the sun. So, rest easy, and take comfort here.
This live session of the band performing "Ben" doesn't come with much information for views--it actually has 160 views as I'm writing this. But the cheesy smiles and the D.I.Y. set design are just too fun not to share.

Idiana's Sleeping Bag is gearing up to drop its first LP in August. In the meantime, the band has dropped two tracks, and "Ben" is one of them.
Here, the band shoots for a tight and close sound that gets in the listener's face, but still executes the music at a gentle volume. It's a bit of a mess, but the melodies and heart fueling this tune are sincere. It's not a mind-blower, but definitely as pleasing as a hug; and only a fool would turn one of those down.
