Good Sleepy are back — and they’re feeling everything, all at once. The Central Massachusetts emo outfit have just announced their sophomore LP, Constant Humming, set for release on February 13, 2026, and dropped a brand-new single to mark the moment. It’s called “TRAP,” and it’s the kind of track that makes you want to stare out the window like you’re in a coming-of-age film — only this time, the angst feels a little older, a little wiser, and a whole lot louder.
“It’s been a long time since we released a full-length record,” shares vocalist Thomas Sullivan. “We’ve grown in our sound quite a bit since our last album and feel that this song encapsulates our future direction very well.” That growth shows — “TRAP” sees Good Sleepy diving into darker, more volatile sonic territory while still holding onto the dreamy, emotionally raw energy that’s always made them stand out.
Their upcoming record, Constant Humming, follows 2021’s everysinglelittlebit — a fan-favourite debut released through No Sleep Records and produced by Chris Freeman (Hot Mulligan) and Gary Cioni (Crime in Stereo). While that record blended ambient textures with Midwest emo roots, Constant Humming leans fully into what Good Sleepy do best: blending fragility and force in a way that hits somewhere between your chest and your throat.
Self-recorded across four years in the secluded mountains of Massachusetts, the album was co-produced with Boston-based producer Charlie Burket (Ringpop!, Park National). It’s the first time since high school that all four members — Thomas Sullivan, Seth Girard, Ryan Duggan, and Jack Wensky — came together to create something from start to finish. And it shows. There’s a lived-in intimacy to it, a sense that the songs are as much about the band’s evolution as they are about growing up itself.
Lyrically, Constant Humming explores nostalgia, emotional clutter, and that strange, persistent buzz of unspoken feelings — or as Sullivan puts it, “a constant humming in the back of my mind.” Across 14 tracks, the record looks at everything from fractured relationships to early adulthood confusion and the pull between moving forward and falling back.
For now, “TRAP” sets the tone for what’s to come — raw, heartfelt, and completely unafraid to sit in the tension between chaos and clarity. And if it’s any indication, Constant Humming might just be Good Sleepy’s most defining chapter yet.
The band will also join Harrison Gordon for a show just outside Boston on November 30 at the Crystal Ballroom, following a packed 2025 tour that took them across the US with Motion Sick, Kansas Had Trees, and Bug Moment. It’s safe to say Good Sleepy are wide awake — and they’re not slowing down anytime soon.
