Sleepyheads

**Sleepyheads** is a Portland-based indie pop trio known for their dreamy, introspective sound and relatable lyrics about navigating young adulthood. Formed in 2018 by lead vocalist/guitarist Marissa Cole, drummer Eli Nguyen, and bassist Theo Ramirez, the band gained traction with their 2020 EP *Midnight Echoes*, which blended hazy guitars with Cole’s candid reflections on anxiety and self-discovery. Their 2022 debut album *Floating Away* expanded their fanbase with tracks like "We’re OK" and "Sail On," pairing jangly melodies with themes of resilience and emotional growth. Sleepyheads’ DIY ethos and warm, lo-fi production—heard in recent releases like "The Swirling Thoughts Of…"—make them a cozy staple in the Pacific Northwest indie scene. They’ve toured with acts like The Buttertones and appeared at festivals including Treefort Music Fest.
