Calgary-based outfit SLEEPKIT — co-founders Chad VanGaalen’s Ghostkeeper‘s and Plant City Band’s Ryan Bourne and Texture Twins‘ Marie Sulkowski along with newest members Alvvays‘ and Ghostkeeper’s Eric Hamelin (drums) and Crystal Eyes’ and Plant City Band’s Joleen Toner — can trace its origins back to when its co-founders were members in the fellow outer limits leaners Devonian Gardens, whose two albums allowed the pair to find their own patch of common ground.

With SLEEPKIT, Bourne and Sulkowski eschewed Devonian Gardens stylistically wide-ranging arpparoch in a favor of a streamlined sound that pairs textural inventiveness and zoned playing techniques with the immediacy and approachability of dance music. Their full-length debut, 2016’s Champion Weekend was a slick blend of sunshiny dream pop, post-disco and psychedelic synth pop/synth rock with nods to Giorgio Moroder, The Stooges and ELO. (Yeah, I know that sounds kinda wild, doesn’t it?)

Bolstered by the additions of Hamelin and Toner, the band’s long-awaited Scott “Monty” Munro-produced sophomore album Camp Emotion is a reportedly a deeply-nuanced and emotionally refinement of their brand of experimental pop that sees them exploring the outer edges of songwriting and creation, functioning as a dance floor friendly soundtrack as much as it does as a hazy, late-night headphone session through inner space.

Camp Emotion’s first single “Oxygen on the Autobahn” is a woozily hallucinogenic, dance floor and headphone friendly bop anchored around reverb-soaked thump, buzzing synths and a trance-inducing groove. The result is a song that seemingly channels a mind-melting synthesis of Evil Heat-era Primal Scream and deep house.

The accompanying video by the band’s Joleen Toner with tiles by the band’s Ryan Bourne features the band’s members surrounded in a glitchy VHS tape haze, sine waves and cosmic imagery superimposed over cars driving on a highway. Fittingly trippy for a trippy song.
