The Sleeves
Intimate live set by guitar duo The Sleeves showcasing delicate vocal interplay and genre‑less acoustic textures
The Sleeves are the duo of Jack Cooper and Tara Cunningham, both likely known to you as one half of Modern Nature. Following an all-instrumental Mossy Tapes release last November, Cooper and Cunningham have recorded 10 new songs showcasing their vocal and guitar interplay with only the faintest echoes of prior efforts, representing a fully realized leap forward from their largely improvised debut.
'The Sleeves' offers a counterintuitive take on the guitar/vocal duo formula, combining expansive and incandescent songwriting with moments that celebrate silence and space. The pair cite shared references and traditions while crafting a genre‑less sound that uses guitars to conjure unexpected textures — bells, birds, radio static — and foregrounds simple, unembellished playing.
The Sleeves have London and NYC dates planned for July and September 2026, with further touring to be announced.
