In late 2024 Nova Scotia indie act Wintersleep released their first new music in over five years with “Fool for a Life.” Once that was out they quieted down a bit again until last November when they announced a new album, Wishing Moon, along with the first single “I Got A Feeling.” Now they’ve dropped the second track from that upcoming album, “Stranger Now.”
That track comes as a music video with lyrics, which you can check out below. Wishing Moon is due out 27 Mar 2026 via Dine Alone Records.
The band will also be touring in support of the new album in two legs: EU and the UK in April, and then Canada in May. Preorder/pre-save options for Wishing Moon are up at this link page, and find those dates and links for the tour below the video.
