Local folk group Nathan Earl and Rachel Joy have released a new single called “Watch You Sleep.” The song comes from their Strangers EP, set for release on May 15th.

Nathan Allebach wrote “Watch You Sleep” in 2011 as an exercise in moving on after a difficult break-up. Recorded by Paul Hocynec of The Captain The Pilot The Driver and featuring the heart-string pulls of a violin, the track walks through the familiar break-up cycle of wanting to get the person back to understanding why it’s important to move on.

The band celebrates the release of Strangers at Siren Records in Doylestown on May 22nd. More information can be found here. Download “Watch You Sleep” below.
