Sleeping Jesus is an emerging indie pop project that has been capturing the hearts of listeners with its introspective lyrics and dreamy soundscapes. The brainchild of songwriter and frontman Nick Elstad, Sleeping Jesus blends the ethereal qualities of indie pop with a subtle nod to the introspective and melodic songwriting found in 60s pop. Since their inception, the band has shown a knack for crafting poignant, introspective tunes that resonate with a wide audience, earning them a spot in the indie music landscape.

Their discography, highlighted by releases such as "Live at Future Apple Tree," "Hollywood Smile," and "Twenty Five," showcases their evolution in sound and storytelling. With tracks like "Leave the Party Early" and "New Years," Sleeping Jesus explores themes of love, loss, and the passing of time, all set to lush, captivating arrangements. Whether through the heartfelt introspection of "Ferdy" or the atmospheric groove of "Outside," the band consistently delivers music that invites listeners into a reflective, often nostalgic journey. As they continue to release new material, including tracks like "Running Backwards," "Lay," and "Alley Dream," Sleeping Jesus stands as a testament to the enduring allure of introspective lyricism paired with innovative indie pop sounds.
