Sleeper is currently a solo project of Bury My Teeth drummer, David D'Antonio. The project receives its name from a former project preceding Bury My Teeth. The music takes a minimalist apraoch toward some of the themes of folk, soul, and math rock with occasional vocal melodies. Sleeper's songs are a personal window between the restless nostalgias, anticipations disguised within allegory and metaphor.

Yes! I have received your very warm and lengthy letter and have safely stashed it away to read again whenever loneliness sets in, haha. Thank you for initiating such an exchange - it seems as though no one writes letters anymore! What an awesome exchange between old friends. It took me a bit, but I have since written back. Be sure to visit your physical mailbox :-)
::: Pre-Release Sale ::: Br'er: I'm a Kid Again / I'm Sorry Mom Single
Edible Onion is proud to announce its first vinyl release, a 7" single from Br'er, featuring alternate recordings of "I'm a Kid Again" and "I'm Sorry Mom." The two tracks orginally appeared on Br'er's debut full length "Of Shemales and Kissaboos," and have long been audience favorites in Br'er's live sets.
The version of "I'm a Kid Again" featured on the 7" was orignally recorded by Audio Confusion in Mesa, Arizona, during Br'er's first US tour. "I'm Sorry Mom" was recorded mostly live by Dan Angel in Philadelphia on his digital sixteen track. The songs as they appear here capture the raw, chathartic sound that characterized the group's early live performances, and differ dramatically from their melancholy readings on "Of Shemales and Kissaboos. "
As with every Edible Onion release, each "I'm a Kid Again/I'm Sorry Mom" 7" is packaged in handmade art. For this release, each record jacket has a hand painted outer jacket, with vellum windows cut out to reveal a hand painted inner jacket. The painting was done with a mixture of acrylic and watercolor paint on oak tag (outside) and American Masters printmaking paper (inside). As well, all of the text is handwritten.
