Liverpudlian trio Stealing Sheep aren’t here to steal our mutton or wool like cunning wolves. They’re really here to steal our hearts and move our feet with their quirky blend of glitchy fidgeting electronica and neon pop on foxy swinging new song, Joking Me. The three piece band fascinates with sharply jostling beats and slickly enchanting synths on their brisk capering, whimsically cavorting single, which arrives by way of a colorful video. Commenting on both, the band say: “Both the song and the video speak a lot about today’s modern culture and how things seem throwaway: love, communication, revealing the disappointments and let downs but also the ephemeral of the delete, trash, emoji digital world. The way you can put up a front on social media, cultivate an imagined life, your best life. We teamed up with 8bit video artist Pastel Castle (Emily Garner) from Leeds, who created Stealing Sheep avatars, we became pixelated superheroes in an over saturated and glitchy platform. It sets the scene for a full series of karaoke videos to be released alongside the album exploring Stealing Sheep in a digital dimension, shifting identities amidst changing cultural moods and millennial paraphernalia. The ‘Do you think about me’ HTML malfunction noting the obsessive nature of social media. It's a crazy time and it's challenging navigating through it.” Stealing Sheep will be releasing their new album Big Wows on April 19th via Heavenly Recordings. The band has also confirmed a 2019 UK tour, including a performance at EartH in London on 30 April. Tickets for the UK tour are available here: http://www.stealingsheep.net/tour/.
