Long slumbering shoegaze super-group Team Sleep has returned and is writing and recording a new album. Late last week the band annonced via a series of Facebook messages their Pledge Music campaign to launch their new album, outside the confines of the standard music business. The band is traveling to Woodstock New York in The Catskills Mountains, in mid-October with plans to live and record together at Applehead Studios. Pledge Music is the standout crowdfunding platform that has seen a wide range of artists leverage the social network such as Devin Townsend, Sevendust, Apocalyptica, Flotsam And Jetsam, Flyleaf, Peter Murphy and Steel Panther to not only launch new projects, but aid charities too.

From The Team Sleep Pledge Music Page:

Dear friends,

Please join us as we create our next record in Woodstock, New York. We’ll gather at Applehead studios, near the base of the Catskill mountains to eat, write, play and record. For a long time, business people, logistics, careers, adulthood, families and the House Republicans have thwarted us, but we’ve continued to make music. At the same time, the creative process has become increasingly fragmented and dehumanized. With that in mind, we’re very excited to get together with our dear friends, hang out, play music and have a unique experience in a beautiful place. We’d like you to be there, too. Your participation will be essential to the independent creation and release of the live performance and our forthcoming studio record; we look forward to seeing you.
