Sleeper frontwoman Louise Wener recently joined Chris Moyles on Radio X to discuss her recent wedding after three decades together, alongside the band's major musical return.
Reflecting on tying the knot in April after 30 years with her partner, Wener joked that she "had to be sure" it was the right person before finally behaving like grownups. Despite the long wait, she described the celebration as genuinely romantic and a meaningful acknowledgment of everything they have weathered together.
Shifting focus to music, Wener shared an exciting lineup of announcements, including a brand-new single released today, album pre-orders, and an upcoming tour set for April 2027. Discussing the sonic direction of the new material, she described the tracks as big, epic, beautiful, and slightly bruised—songs she feels could only be written at this specific stage of her life.
Comparing her current songwriting to the height of the 1990s Britpop era, Wener noted that aging has granted her a fresh perspective and emotional directness. In her twenties, she tended to hide narratives behind characters, whereas today she tells her stories with raw honesty, aiming to forge a deeper, more direct connection with listeners.
