Whether you’re reuniting to give the nostalgia freaks what they want, or to discover what that experimental post-jazz fifth album you never made might have sounded like, confidence is key – just ask Pixies and Suede. In the ‘90s, Louise Wener would swan into Sleeper songs knowing she was the queen of Britpop’s suburban indie-pop scene. Returning 22 years after Sleeper’s third album ‘Pleased To Meet You’, however, she and most of her original Sleeperblokes approach their comeback fourth album tentatively, sounding unsure exactly what they should be in 2019, and if anyone will care.
