With <i>Sleeping Beauty</i> the trio also explore even heavier riffs than before, seasick grooves and tempi, and deeper ambient soundscapes. Through extensive improvisation, the effects and processing of the sounds are way more extreme than before, almost awakening the sleeping beauty. During the pandemic, the band also had to find new ways to write music without the presence of every member, introducing the vibe-samples from the old mellotron sound gallery to the band. 

Quarantillity, one of the themes which appears several times throughout the album - almost used in a similar way as the flower theme in the Turangalila symphony - is a direct result of sitting alone in quarantine, playing the mellotron while listening to vibraphone extraordinaire Bobby Hutcherson. <i>Sleeping Beauty</i> was recorded in Duper Studio in Bergen, co-produced with the band’s all-time favourite sound wizard Jørgen Træen. It is also mixed and mastered by Træen, makingthe music sound as brutal, intense and intimate as experiencing I Like To Sleep in a live setting.
