Brighton's cult band 12 STONE TODDLER are the stuff of local legend. After 3 classic (and universally acclaimed) underground albums IDIOLALIA (2018), SCHEMING (2009) and the debut DOES IT SCARE YOU? (2007) they continue to defy expectation or easy categorisation with their unique and quirky songs.
HEAVY SLEEPER features on the album IDIOLALIA:

Before the release of their last album they recorded a live set in the studio to a small invited audience. Very much in the mould of a Sofar Sounds or MTV Unplugged session. HEAVY SLEEPER is the first tune to surface from this set and showcases the band warming up for gigs later that year at BOOMTOWN and GLASTONBURY FESTIVALS as well as SOLD OUT home town gigs at both THE GREEN DOOR STORE and subsequently THE HAUNT for their album launch.
