With their much-anticipated debut album due to land this summer, Stealing Sheep have just announced news of the release of Shut Eye, the first single to be released from the LP. A genre-defying mix of analogue electronica, voodoo folk and psychedelic pop, this infectious and rhythmic number is due for release 28th May 2012 on Heavenly Recordings.

The single will be available as a limited edition 7″, with new track ‘We Like The Dark’ on the b-side, and comes complete with an intriguing animated video directed by Rivkah Gevinson (see below):
