Dublin three-piece Sleep Thieves are gearing up to release their album You Want The Night this year with a new single ‘City Of Hearts’ next week as a recent signing to the Minty Fresh Records label. The song has been a recent live favourite and is a throbbing electro track with Sorcha Brennan’s vocals lifting into the high range on the chorus. It continues the band’s shift in direction that was trailed with the last single ‘Sparks’.
