“After 10 years of dealing with the ups and downs of the music industry we have decided to continue our journey independently and self release our third full length album, available now for pre-order on PledgeMusic,” the band says on their PledgeMusic page. “All money raised goes directly towards funding the the new album, artwork, music videos, touring and everything that keeps our band alive.”
While She Sleeps are 46% to their goal with 59 days left in the campaign. When fans donate, they can choose between ordering the album on a range of formats and exclusive merchandise, “including one-off items made by us at the Sleeps HQ in Sheffield,” as the band says.
In the video, the band talks about how they built a While She Sleeps headquarters in a warehouse, using all recycled materials.
