Twin Oaks, the dream-pop duo of Lauren Brown and Aaron Domingo, released their second full-length, “See You When I See You,” last summer. It was an album of shifting dynamics, ranging from combustible shoegaze to more restrained, ethereal folk- and post-rock. Now, Brown and Domingo have returned with the new single “Sleep Deprived,” which like the album was recorded in DIY fashion in Domingo’s Chino Hills home studio.

It’s an ambient, slow-motion meditation of almost brittle beauty, as Brown, backed by glitchy and understated beats, plaintively recounts a night of fun and wonders about having to be up early in the morning. On the long drive home, when you feel the night wasn’t long enough and the alarm will ring too soon, this one’s for you.
