Sleeps Under Beams is the brainchild of Drew Campbell, a songwriter who finds beauty in the shadows. He’s joined by the lyrical finesse of Lisa Ann Swain and the newly introduced voice of Anna Rea. While this trio might be new in its configuration, the chemistry is undeniable. It’s as if they’ve been working together for years, and “Silver Cup” is the proof.

Let’s break it down: Sleeps Under Beams hasn’t abandoned their signature gothic undertones—far from it. What they’ve done is more of an evolution, layering experimental harmonies and textures that make the track feel like a journey through a fog-laden forest at dusk. The mysticism and enigma that Sleeps Under Beams has always flirted with are now front and center, more tangible and immersive than ever before.

This is their first release with Anna Rea on vocals, and her voice is something else. It’s ethereal yet powerful, as though she’s constantly on the verge of breaking free from the song’s dark embrace. There’s a tension in her delivery that adds an edge of anxiety, perfectly complementing the brooding, complex harmonies laid down by Drew Campbell and Ann Swain.

For longtime fans, “Silver Cup” offers everything they’ve come to love about Sleeps Under Beams, but with enough newness to keep things exciting. For those new to the band, this track is a perfect introduction—a dark, seductive invitation into their world. I can’t recommend it enough. Take a moment, put on some good headphones, and lose yourself in the aesthetic darkness that Sleeps Under Beams has so masterfully crafted.
