Known for serving up a maximalist blend of bewitching synth-pop and guitar-driven indie rock that’s sure to set your heart racing, Beauty Sleep’s lavish soundscapes and dizzying songwriting have drawn comparisons to New Order, Phoenix and Confidence Man, so far achieving over a million streams, performing at festivals such as SXSW, Electric Picnic and Other Voices and sustaining buzz from music press tastemakers in Ireland and the UK including Hot Press Get In Her Ears and plays on BBC R1, 6Music, Radio Ulster & RTE2fm since their debut album ‘Be Kind’ in 2019.

The duo’s new album ‘The Whole Damn Cake’ was released via Alcopop! on October 17th 2025, with singles ‘Radical Happiness’ and ‘BIG + BAD’ showcasing the joyful rebellion that is their new record. As Cheylene Murphy & Ryan McGroarty are both songwriters, producers and multi-instrumentalists, they create a lush sonic world, writing songs that manifest the world they want to be in, with a dash of dreamy yearning, and a big sprinkle of 80s energy. Above all, it’s the sound of two people reclaiming their space in a world that often tells people like them—too loud, too queer, too sensitive, too much—to shrink. Beauty Sleep don’t shrink. Not anymore.
