The American electronic music duo Mirza Ramic and Max Lewis have compiled an impressive discography of 26 releases in their 11 year history as Arms For Sleepers. They have collaborated with dozens of prominent artists (Tom Brosseau of Fat Cat Records, Serengeti of Anticon, Philip Jamieson of Caspian, and Victor Ferreira of Sun Glitters, among others) and worked on numerous remixes (Caspian, Helios, Ef, From Indian Lakes, and many others).
Today we’ve the pleasure to bring you the premiere of Arms For Sleepers’ new single “Be This Way” feat. Steffaloo (listen below), a track taken from their upcoming album Find The Right Place, to be released on April 13th via Pelagic Records.
“This song was actually one of the first ideas we had for our previous album, dating back to 2016. It didn’t fit the vibe of that album so we put it aside and didn’t really think we’d use it on anything else. But as our new album started taking on a more aggressive sound, this track came back to life. The instrumental version stayed pretty much the same as the demo version from two years ago, and it was Victor Ferreira of Sun Glitters who added Steffaloo’s vocals on top. The vocals are in fact taken from an old Sun Glitters track, reworked a bit to fit our song. So like much of our recent material that relies heavily on sampling, these vocals were in a way sampled as well – by our co-producer, from one of his own songs.” – The duo said about the new single.
While Lewis lives in the US, Ramic is currently based in Europe, from where he has taken Arms And Sleepers to stages across North & Central America, Europe and Asia mainly as a one-man show in recent years… the full live band lineup (trio) appears only on special occasions. So, make sure that you’re not going to miss them live in Europe this Spring, dates below.
