Not an iota of this wonderful ear-candy should be “filtered out”. Every little element of the track comes together to form a flawless and exultant indie pop/electro-rock tapestry. Unfiltered comes from a creative collaboration involving twin brothers Michael and Joseph Pepe, as well as vocalist Amber Ruthe and drummer Sara Luffred. Together, they are Sleeplust, a band from Los Angeles whose music is a distinctive mixture of sounds as diverse as their backgrounds in multiple genres and prior projects. Punchy beats and earnest vocals endow Unfiltered, a pop anthem that screams that it’s okay to open up and show more of what’s really going on, “’cause everyone is way more similar than they think and they aren’t alone.” In a time of too much division, Sleeplust brings us a gorgeous reminder that we should embrace our differences and come together on common ground.
