Description

2LP Black Vinyl

Acclaimed Dublin alt-rockers THUMPER announce their upcoming sophomore Sleeping WithThe Light On and share the rousing 10-minute epic Middle Management (out 26th Sept).Following the Choice Music Prizenominated debut album Delusions of Grandeur (alongsidethe likes of CMAT, Fontaines DC, The Mary Wallopers and Dermot Kennedy), as well asannouncing the upcoming new album, the band also announce a string of dates for February2026 including a huge hometown show in The Academy Dublin.

A couple of weeks after finishing their first album, and months before it would be released,THUMPER found themselves back in the rehearsal room writing again. Shortly into this processthe pandemic hit and it had a profound effect on the songs that were being produced. Thesongs became darker, but also somehow more precise. Slowly the new album came intofocus. It was named Sleeping With The Light On to acknowledge this darker, paranoid energythat was beginning to form in the band, but also that the making of the album itself was aneffort to dispel that darkness that there was light to be enjoyed, in time.
