Sleap-e is Asia, a guitar and vocals accompanied by bass, drums, sax and trumpet. The project was born in 2018 in Bologna with the first EP release Hard Times and continued in 2020 with the second EP Mellow, both produced by the Italian-American band Baseball Gregg. With the release of its first LP Pouty Lips (2022), the band has evolved and consolidated into its current form, creating an Indie-rock sound sprinkled with references to Lo-fi, Soul and R&B.
