Denmark band The Kissaway Trail are returning in 2010 after a little bit of a hiatus in terms of releasing new material. An upcoming LP from the young band will be called Sleep Mountain and sees the light of day April 6th on Bella Union. Until that time, have yourself a listen to this new single “SDP” which will appear on the upcoming sophomore effort. The song can get a little long for my taste, but also has some really beautiful elements to it.
