Beatenberg share final single of the year, "When I Fall Asleep"

“This is actually the oldest song on the album,” says Beatenberg’s singer Matthew Field. “I think one of two songs that I wrote with the line ‘when I fall asleep’. Sleeping is something I find myself mentioning often, I think? I had just read the book, Passage to India. I imagine the character in the album in a hotel room reading and then drifting off mid-sentence."

"When I Fall Asleep" follows their previous 2023 singles “Mine Of Myself”, “Eau de Toilette,” a song about attraction to someone’s post-workout fragrance and “Don’t Call Her Over to You.”

The Great Fire of Beatenberg is the group's first full-length offering in five years, and follows On the way to Beatenberg – a post-pandemic EP that reconnected the band musically for the first time since they took a hiatus in 2018. Lead singer Matthew Field said at the time: “We hadn’t hung out together outside of the band for such a long time. It was almost like in order to make music together again, we had to become friends again."
