The Big Sleep @ The Knitting Factory Brooklyn - February 2, 2012

On Thursday night in Williamsburg, The Big Sleep celebrated the release of their very excellent new album Nature Experiments, which was just released on January 31 on Frenchkiss Records (stream it on Spotify). The album is the band's first LP since 2008's Sleep Forever, and is by far the most accessible and catchy material I've heard from them yet. Be sure to preorder the vinyl copy, which will be released by Goodnight Records on February 14.
Thursday's show was somewhat of a warmup to an upcoming tour for the Brooklyn band that begins early in March, which will find them playing down the east coast and eventually heading over to Austin's SXSW Festival (all tour dates below).
Wondering how the show was? Well, Nadia and I had the opportunity to film The Big Sleep for our brand new Fucking Nostalgic Films series, so watch them perform their newest single "Ace" below the jump along with some photos from the show as well!
