Sleep Tactics – “THE LAUGHING HEARTS”

Sleep Tactics’ new single “The Laughing Hearts” is a sharp and direct gut punch in the best way. Everything about the track feels intentional and lived-in, the songwriting hits that weird sweet spot between personal and universal, letting you sit with your own thoughts while the band works through theirs. Dan Smith, pulling all the creativity on this one, turns solitude into something loud and strangely triumphant.

The vocals? Raw and gripping, there’s an honesty in Smith’s delivery that feels almost confrontational at times, but not in a way that pushes you away. Also, that cover art is wild. Two hearts sword fighting with full, gaping laughs? It’s unsettling, ridiculous, and oddly perfect for a song that balances melancholy and defiance without flinching.

If “The Laughing Hearts” is your introduction to Sleep Tactics, now is the time to hop on. Follow them on social media to keep up with what’s coming next in the rest of 2025, you won’t want to miss what’s ahead.
