"Still grafting and producing disarmingly well-crafted paeans and minor anthems, James has honed his talent on every release." Monolith Cocktail.

Weird Sleeping Kittens are a five piece, female vocal led band based in south east London, blending dark fairy tale lyrics with their unique fusion of psychedelic folk and trip hop.
