about

“This Minnesota quartet is as rare and poetic as a four-leaf clover... nothing but praise for this album.”
Marcie Guekens - Rootstime

“Heartfelt, beautiful, and austere... acoustic Americana for the new millenium.”
Adam Levy (Honeydogs)

“This album strikes a rare balance
between thinking and feeling.”
Kevin Bowe (grammy winner, guitarist for Paul Westerberg of the Replacements)

The Sleeper Pins have returned to the Twin Cities music scene with a new album and have hit their stride with “Keep It Coming Like A Miracle.” After expanding their former lineup to include a multi- instrumentalist and McKnight Music Fellowship recipient, their sophomore effort builds on the minimalism of their first self-titled release by adding new instruments and song arrangements to create a more versatile and diverse sound. With a challenging new batch of songs coupled with their more powerful full-on sound, The Sleeper Pins recorded at Clear Stream Audio in Mendota Heights, MN and I.P.R. Studios in Minneapolis, MN. "Keep It Coming Like A Miracle" proved to be a substantial step forward in sound, depth, and musicianship thanks to tasteful production by Midwest Matadors and visionary mixing by local Minneapolis whiz kid Joe Johnson. Final mastering touches were put on the album by Pete Lymon (Queens of the Stone Age/Beck/The Circle Jerks) at Infrasonic Sound in Los Angeles, CA.
