Over the past few years, Ohio-based Asleep has shared bills with The Flaming Lips, Sonic Youth and Kings of Leon. The quartet’s next studio album is set for a February 7 release. Asleep worked with Bill Korecky and Mike Watts on its previous two records and continues their stellar tradition by enlisting Steve Albini (Nirvana, Page and Plant, Iggy Pop and the Stooges) for this effort. One of the songs from Unpleasant Companion,  “Deserted,” has just premiered on Relix.com where it is now streaming.
