Sleep In Your Car was first released digitally by Funn Folk Sounds,[1] and soon after, it was released on cassette by Insomniac Folklore.[3]
The Modern Folk was quoted saying that "this particular release documents an energetic performance" and further described Insomniac Folklore as "a driving guitars and drums three piece characterized by dead-pan Calvin Johnson (musician) -esque male vocals harmonized with sweeter female singing." They proceeded to talk about the field-style by saying that "the clipping, one mic cassette tape recording is perfect for the band's sound and the label's mission".[4]
