Cape Sleep is the new name for the band led Dutch indie musician Kim Janssen. Their new single I Want To Be Your Friend is a happy-sad song about the doubts that can creep in when everything appears to be fine and dandy. It has a very danceable backbeat, but the lyrics tell another story. With four band members pitching in for the vocals, they have ample opportunity to add textures and indulge into call-and-response tidbits. Smart pop with an electronic twist that brings a touch of Spring in the midst of Winter.
