Norman Palm’s beautiful single ‘Sleeper’ is out today on City Slang (Arcade Fire, Caribou, Broken Social Scene). Slipping comfortably into the recently-revived folk scene, the vibrant, summery feel of ‘Sleeper’ is an endearing antidote to the current winter gloom and is released ahead of his album ‘Shore to Shore’ on March 14.
