Sleeper and Snake

Mia McDonald

SLEEPER & SNAKE are the duo of Amy Hill (Terry, Primo, Constant Mongrel) and Al Montfort (Terry, Total Control, Lower Plenty, Dick Diver etc…). Setting a different pace to previous projects, Sleeper and Snake incorporate a new instrumentation of saxophone, synthesisers, drum machine, acoustic guitar and strings. Playing homespun vignettes of warbled keyboards, fizzed improvised interludes, shifting layers of skewed harmony and wistful yet pointed lyrical pep, they released their sophomore album ‘Fresco Shed’ on Lulu’s Sonic Disc Club in October 2020.

Wominjeka (Welcome). We acknowledge the Yaluk-ut Weelam as the traditional custodians of the land on which we meet. Yaluk-ut Weelam means ‘people of the river camp’ and is connected with the coastal land at the head of Port Phillip Bay, extending from the Werribee River to Mordialloc. The Yaluk-ut Weelam are part of the Boon Wurrung, one of the five major language groups of the greater Kulin Nation. We pay our respects to the land, their ancestors and their elders—past, present and to the future.
