Sleep Debt Ceiling – “Misery is My Calling Card”
Buffalo’s emotionally-witty act Sleep Debt Ceiling has returned with their latest single “Misery is My Calling Card.” Similar to the angsty punk sound of SDC’s Demo EP, this track tunes into the raw emotions that come with self-sabotaging. In contrast to their previous release, “Misery is My Calling Card” features fuller production that provides a more studio-quality feel. The new dynamics increase anticipation for the April release of their second EP, Dead Air Trap.
Project head James Stephenson shines a spotlight on the deep-cutting lyrics while staying true to the genre with guttural vocals. This stunning combination is comparable to the works of iconic folk punk artists like The Mountain Goats and AJJ. Following the pattern of SDC’s sarcastic banter, this track deals with anxiety-induced overthinking that ultimately leads to avoiding humanity.
“I don’t deserve your kindness
Secretly I hope
That you will never realize
I am a misanthrope
I’m all out of jokes
I don’t have a reply
Everyone wants something
But me, I never try”
“Misery is My Calling Card” is available for streaming on Bandcamp and Spotify while patiently awaiting the new EP. Make sure to pre-save Dead Air Trap here!
