Carmen Villain, aka London-based Carmen Hillestad, releases her fiery debut album,

Sleeper, next week on Smalltown Supersound. After sharing one of the album’s hazier, more seductive songs, “Lifeissin,” Carmen now introduces you to the darker and more psych-oriented side of Sleeper via “Made A Shell,” a song which continues to carrySleepers‘s overall theme of escaping an unsatisfying world. It’s a gripping track exemplifying Carmen’s beautiful vocal and creative range throughout this stellar debut.

“Turbulent, all-consuming, and cathartic, ‘Made a Shell’ does just that.” — SPIN

“Her first single, ‘Lifeissin’ is a gorgeously brooding track that sonically splits the difference between the fragility of early Cat Power, disintegrating loops, and Chicago post-rock.”  —KCRW [Artist You Should Know]
