These days, Sir Sly can seemingly crank out summery bops with their eyes closed, but it wasn't always that way. "We [needed] to go away and start finding ourselves a little bit as a band," singer/guitarist Landon Jacobs tells Billboard. The indie rock band -- which also features keyboardist Jason Suwito and drummer Hayden Coplen -- did just that, and released their excellent second album, Don't You Worry, Honey, in June 2017. Now, their hypnotic single "&Run" is currently No. 5 on the Alternative Songs chart.
Billboard caught up with them just moments after they played an energetic afternoon set at The Governors Ball Music Festival on Friday (June 1) to talk about their forthcoming third record, the surprising story behind their single "Astronaut" and more.
