Named after a Thelonious Monk quote, I LIKE TO SLEEP has since 2015 taken the Norwegian Jazz scene by storm as one of the most energetic and loudest, but delicate bands. The trio were brought together by a common interest in improvisation and sound aesthetics from 60's and 70's jazz and prog rock. The product of these wide-ranging musical influences can be experienced through the unique combination of vibraphone, baritone guitar and drums that is ILTS. They specialise in heavy riffs, extensive improvisation pushed to its limits, and well-written melodies.
