The first single from L.A.-based trio Midnight Swim Club evokes the squishy neo-soul of the ’90s with the modern flourishes of artists such as How to Dress Well and The Weeknd. “Sleepwalker” is the work of singer-guitarist-keyboardist Derrick Oshana, bassist-keybaordist Gray Robertson and beatmaker Chris Chamberlain. Oshana released a solo EP of folk-pop back in 2008, and Robertson has played with the excellent songwriter Gavin Castleton. The threesome got together about a year ago and have been woodshedding their songs ever since. If that new D’Angelo album got you all love-drunk, “Sleepwalker’s” warm synths might be a good mixer for that nightcap.
